A Unified Approach to RF and Microwave Noise Parameter Modeling in Bipolar Transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unified approach to RF and microwave noise parameter modeling in bipolar transistors is presented. Circuit level noise parameters including the minimum noise figure, the optimum generator admittance, and the noise resistance are analytically linked to the fundamental noise sources and the y-parameters of the transistor through circuit analysis of the chain noisy two-port representation. Comparisons of circuit level noise parameters from different physical models of noise sources in the transistor were made against measurements in UHV/CVD SiGe HBTs. A new model for the collector shot noise is then proposed which produces better noise parameter agreement with measured data than the SPICE noise model and the thermodynamic noise model, the two most recent Y-parameter based noise models.

متن کاملPredictive Modeling of InGaP/GaAs HBT Noise Parameters from DC and S- Parameter Data for Wireless Power Amplifier Design
Noise characterization of bipolar transistors is typically a lengthy and costly process. As a result, routine monitoring of microwave noise does not generally occur for HBT technologies or products. In contrast, vast quantities of parametric DC data and S-parameter data are measured during the regular course of technology development and production. In work by Voinigescu et al [1], DC and S-par...
متن کاملModeling of Manufacturing of Field-Effect Heterotransistors without P-n-junctions to Optimize Decreasing their Dimensions
It has been recently shown that manufacturing p-n-junctions, field-effect and bipolar transistors, thyristors in a multilayer structure by diffusion or ion implantation with the optimization of dopant and/or radiation defects leads to increase the sharpness of p-n-junctions (both single p-n-junctions and p-n-junctions framework their system). Due to the optimization, one can also obtain increas...
متن کاملSiGe BiCMOS LNA’S AND TUNABLE ACTIVE FILTER FOR FUTURE WIDE-BAND MULTI-PURPOSE ARRAY ANTENNAS
In this paper, we present three monolithical microwave integrated circuits (MMIC’s) that potentially may be used in the receiver front-ends of future wide-band multi-purpose array antennas, for example. Two low-noise amplifiers (LNA’s) and one tunable filter have been designed in a 0.35μm bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology containing high frequency silicongerman...
