Study of Extractions of Millimeter-Wave Bipolar Transistor Equivalent Circuit Models from Measured S-parameters
Project Description
In the course of gain cut-off frequencies extraction from measured S-parameters, de-embedding is necessary to subtract the effect of probe pads. The MWE group recently proposed an iterative de-embedding method which enables a more reliable cut-off frequency determination than conventional de-embedding methods. The goal of this semester thesis is to find out the subtracted physical elements in DHBT small signal equivalent model within each iteration.
