Abstract :
The Curtice quadratic, Materka, Statz and Rodriguez nonlinear models are compared from DC, constant voltage (CV) and RF points of view in order to determine which is most suitable for nonlinear wideband circuit design. For this comparison, a variety of different size GaAs MESFET devices is employed. Data for a 25-μm and 900-μm gate-width device with a pinch-off voltage of -2V and a gate-length of 0.5-μm are extensively used for the model comparison work
