Abstract :
A new approach has been developed that uses only a simple set of formulas to transform noise and Z-parameters between common emitter and common base configurations. This technique is based on the typical T-model of InP double-heterojunction bipolar transistor and calculated results agree with the experimental results, demonstrating that this approach is useful for many broad-band low-noise communication circuit designs
