Abstract :
The letter presents a refined method for accurate measurement of small-signal current gains (alphas) of thyristors. The measurement circuit developed incorporates an original elimination procedure¿with a single tuning for the entire range of measurement frequencies¿of the spurious effect of the parasitic gate-anode capacitance Cga.
