Abstract

This work presents a description of the nonlinear behaviour of the cold FET. A characterization technique is described together with typical measurements. The work describes key weaknesses in popular simulator models that prevent realistic simulation of 3rd order intermodulation distortion performance of cold FET attenuators, mixers and switches. This includes a previously undescribed derivative discontinuity peculiar to the cold FET condition.
