Abstract
The gate bias dependence of kink phenomenon with a large deviation from the resistance circle in Smith chart is observed in the frequency response of $S_{11}$-parameter for large multi-finger RF MOSFETs. For the first time, this bias dependence is analyzed by measuring magnitude and phase of $S_{11}$-parameter, input resistance and input capacitance. As a result, $V_{gs}$ dependent $S_{11}$-parameter is largely changed by the magnitude of input capacitance as well as dominant pole and zero frequencies of input resistance. At $V_{gs}=0V$, the kink phenomenon occurs in the high frequency region because of very small phase difference of $S_{11}$-parameter and high pole frequency of input resistance. However, the kink phenomenon at higher $V_{gs}$ is generated in the low frequency region owing to large phase difference and low pole frequency.
