Direct extraction of FET's small signal model parameters needs predetermined parasitic elements usually obtained under forward cold FET conditionl This paper derives analytic intrinsic model for cold FET's and shows that normal cold FET condition can replace forward cold FET condition for extracting parasitic elements. Then, we track the error of hot FET's small signal model bounded by the cold FET condition and examine the validness of cold parasitic resistances by checking the existence of the error minimum.

This study presents a technique for extracting all the extrinsic parameters of HEMTs by minimizing the residual errors between a pinch-off cold-FET's gate and drain pad de-embedded Z-parameters and its modeled Z-parameters calculated by the cold-FET's remaining parameters. The presented technique allows us to successfully extract the remaining extrinsic parameter values as well as the gate and drain pad capacitance value without the additional fabrications of the gate and drain dummy pad.

To analyze the effects of the air-bridge parasitic capacitances on the performance of coplanar waveguide pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (CPW PHEMTs), the gate-to-air-bridge ( $C_{ag}$ ) and the drain-to air-bridge ( $C_{ad}$ ) capacitances were taken into account plus the conventional pinched-off cold. FET circuit model. To examine the effects of the parasitic capacitances due to the air-bridges, a variety routing schemes for the air-bridge interconnection were adopted for fabricating the 0.1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\Gamma$-gate length CPW HEMT's. According to air-bridge schemes, the $S_{21}$ gain is affected considerably. From the results of the fabricated CPW PHEMT, the $C_{ag}$ and $C_{ad}$ is one of the important factor of decreasing the gain of HEMTs.

CaN(gallium nitride) MODFET(modulation doped field effect transistor) large signal model was studied using Modified Materka-Kacprzak large signal MODFET model. using the Dambrine's method［3, at 45MHz-40㎓, Measured S-parameter and DC characteristics. based on measuring results, small signal parameter extraction was conducted. by the cold FET［4］method, measured parasitic elements were de-embedding. Extracted small signal parameters were modeled using modified Materka model, a sort of fitting function reproduce measuring results. to confirm conducted large signal modeling, modeled GaN MODFET's DC, S-parameter and Power characteristics were compared to measured results, respectively. by results were represented comparatively agreement, this paper showed that modified Materka model was useful in the GaN MODFET large signal modeling.

In this paper, a Cold PHEMT equivalent circuit was proposed, and it is applied to extract extrinsic resistances. By using the proposed Cold PHEMT equivalent circuit, the variation of impedance with frequency and bias were mainly emphasized. Especially, the convergence of impedance with frequency and the change in impedance with bias were carefully analyzed, which may be used for fast extraction of extrinsic resistances. The proposed extraction method demonstrated improving of small signal model accuracy than conventional extraction method.

The application of a discrete pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p-HEMT) as a grounded switch allows for the development of low cost phase shifters and phase modulators operating in a Ku band. This fills the gap in the development of phase control devices comprising p-i-n diodes and microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). This paper describes a discrete p-HEMT characterization and modeling in switching mode as well as the development of a low-cost four-bit phase shifter and direct quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator. The developed devices operate in a Ku band with parameters comparable to commercially available MMIC counterparts. Both of them are CMOS compatible and have no power consumption. The parameters of the QPSK modulator are very close to the requirements of available standards for satellite earth stations.
