  • Abstract
    A comparative study of ten GaAs MESFET DC models, including three variations, is described. The computations have been carried out using an interactive program for nonlinear parameter extraction and sensitivity analysis (INTERSECT). The study concluded that W.R. Curtice´s cubic model (1985), with seven parameters, provides the best fit to the two sets of MESFET DC characteristics used.<>
