  • Abstract
    Investigation into field-plated GaN HEMTs has revealed that, although addition of the field plate reduces cutoff frequencies, noise figure actually improves. An analysis is presented to explain this phenomenon, which is related to the trade-off between gate-drain capacitance and gate conductance.
