Popis: This article presents a method of transistor parameter extraction using multiharmonic Load-Pull (MHLP) measurements completed with modified harmonic balance calculations. An advantage of this approach is that the parameters of the nonlinear elements of the transistor are obtained solely from large-signal measurements at the fundamental and the generated harmonic frequencies. The calculated parameters of the nonlinear model of a commercial MESFET (NE 71083), are found suitable for large-signal operating mode at different impedance loading. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
