Abstract :
Propagation effects along the electrodes of single- and multi-gate MESFETs are analyzed by means of new model which directly exploits two-dimensional small-signal simulation. The electromagnetic behaviour is characterized through a quasi-TEM multiconductor line model, and preliminary results are presented concerning the influence of gate width on the overall device performances.
