Modeling of Carrier Transport Dynamics at GHz-Frequencies for RF Circuit-Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carrier dynamics in a MOSFET channel under fast time-varying gate input is included in the modeling for circuit simulation and implemented in SPICE3f5 at only 7% increased computational runtime cost. Correct reproduction of transient drain currents as well as harmonic-distortion characteristics are verified. While the carrier dynamics under low-frequency operation is mostly governed by the carrier mobility in the channel, the dominant factor under high-frequency operation changes to channel charging and discharging.

Global modeling of carrier-field dynamics in semiconductors using EMC–FDTD
The interactions between carriers and fields in semiconductors at low frequencies (<100 GHz) can be adequately described by numerical solution of the Boltzmann transport equation coupled with Poisson’s equation. As the frequency approaches the THz regime, the quasi-static approximation fails and full-wave dynamics must be considered. Here, we review recent advances in global modeling techniques...

This paper presents a new variable gain low noise amplifier (VG-LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed VG-LNA uses a common-source (CS) with a shunt-shunt active feedback as an input stage to realize input matching and partial noise cancelling. An output stage consists of a gain-boosted CS cascode and a gain control circuit that moves the high resonant frequency to higher freq...
