Nonlinear Dispersive Modeling of Electron Devices Oriented to GaN Power Amplifier Design

This paper presents a new modeling approach accounting for the nonlinear description of low-frequency dispersive effects (due to thermal phenomena and traps) affecting electron devices. The theoretical formulation is quite general and includes as particular cases different models proposed in the literature. A large set of experimental results, oriented to microwave GaN power amplifier design, is provided to give an exhaustive validation under realistic device operation
