Abstract
Analytical expressions for the noise parameters of microwave InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) are presented in this paper. These expressions are derived from an accurate small-signal and noise equivalent-circuit model, which takes into account the influences of the base-collector capacitance and the base resistance distributed nature. Pad capacitances and series inductances are also included. Further simplified expressions for noise parameters in the low-frequency range are given. Good agreement is obtained between measured and calculated results up to 20 GHz for InP-InGaAs DHBTs with a 5 × 5 μm 2 emitter area over a wide range of bias points.
