Abstract

A large-signal GaAs FET model is derived based on dc characteristics of the device. Analytical expressions of modeled nonlinear elements are presented in a form convenient for circuit design. Power saturation and gain characteristics of a GaAs FET are studied theoretically and experimentally. An oscillator design employing the large-signal model is demonstrated.
