  • Abstract
    This work discusses the nonlinear modeling procedures required for intermodulation distortion (IMD) calculations of MESFETs biased in the resistive (linear) region. An automatic full two-sided characterization of Ids(vgs, Vds) is compared against the previously published extraction of Ids(vds) in this problematic region. It is shown that this one-sided Taylor series extraction is insufficient for most applications of the FET in its triode zone, and thus an alternative method is proposed.
