  • Abstract
    The FET inductances and extrinsic capacitances are calculated by means of the 3D Finite-Difference method in frequency domain (FDFD). The results are used to study the influence of transmission-line environment (coplanar or microstrip) on FET equivalent circuit. This allows to predict changes of the extrinsic elements when varying periphery, e.g., using a coplanar-based FET model in a microstrip circuit. Additional measurements are not required. Furthermore, the distance of the source via in the microstrip case is varied and the resulting changes in the model are investigated.
