Abstract: This paper presents an accurate small-signal model for multi-gate GaAs pHEMTs in switching-mode. The extraction method for the proposed model is developed. A 2-gate switch structure is fabricated on a commercial 0.5 μm AlGaAs/GaAs pHEMT technology to verify the proposed model. Excellent agreement has been obtained between the measured and simulated results over a wide frequency range.
Key words: GaAs pHEMTs, switch, small-signal model, parameter extraction
