Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of noise parameter de-embedding in n-MOSFETs. A method to directly de-embed the parasitic pad effects from the measured noise parameters (minimum noise figure NF min , equivalent noise resistance R n , and optimized source reflection coefficient Γ opt ) and the impact of noise parameter de-embedding on the high-frequency noise modeling of MOSFETs is presented. In addition, noise parameter de-embedding using a physically-based pad model is presented. Finally, the results of the two approaches are compared Author(s) Deen, M.J. Sch. of Eng.
