MESFET noise modeling based on noise wave temperatures

A simple procedure for the extraction of intrinsic noise wave temperatures in the wave representations of microwave transistors is presented in this paper. A set of equations describing the noise parameters as a function of three equivalent noise temperatures is implemented within the circuit simulator Libra. After that, the wave noise model is defined as a new user-defined element of the Libra program library. Good agreement between modeled and measured noise parameters is observed.
