A novel extraction method for accurate determination of HBT large-signal model parameters

A simple large-signal model, Extended Ebers-Moll (EEM) model is successfully used to accurately describe the HBT nonlinear responses. A unique and efficient procedure that combines the DC, small-signal intrinsic, and parasitic extraction algorithms is developed to accurately determine the EEM parameters. This model shows excellent agreement with all experimental data and gives less than 1 dB discrepancy of measured 3rd-order intermodulation distortion with a wide range of input power drive.<
