Abstract
Using the 4-port admittance matrix of a GaAs-MESFET, it is shown how the distributed properties such as wave impedances and propagation constants can be derived. The procedure can equally be used for any active device with 2 homogeneous electrodes. For this purpose the 4-port admittance matrix Y for an arbitrary active device is derived. Afterwards it is demonstrated how the wave properties can be extracted from the matrix Y. An example of the measurement of a GaAs-MESFET is added.
