Popis: In this paper a straightforward method to determine the parasitic gate resistance (R g ) of GaN FET is introduced. The method uses a simple linear regression to directly determine the value of R g without prior knowledge of the Schottky diode resistance R 0 and capacitance C 0 . Furthermore, the method requires only a single bias point with low DC current at the gate. In addition to this straightforward method, a reliable procedure for extracting the parasitic source inductance L S is also introduced. This procedure for extracting the source inductance is useful for GaN FET when the imaginary part of Z 12 is negative. The new method has been used successfully in the parasitic element characterization of power AlGaN/GaN HFETs.
