80 ns/45 GHz Pulsed measurement system for DC and RF characterization of high speed microwave devices

This paper presents a combined pulsed I(V)apulsed RF state-of-the-art measurement system. Isothermal DC and AC measurement data can be achieved allowing a complete characterization and exploration of the safe operating area (SOA) of advanced SiGe:C HBTs. System behavior is explained in detail and re...

Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a combined pulsed I(V)apulsed RF state-of-the-art measurement system. Isothermal DC and AC measurement data can be achieved allowing a complete characterization and exploration of the safe operating area (SOA) of advanced SiGe:C HBTs. System behavior is explained in detail and reproduced by simulation taking into account the influence of all parasitic components. Optimization steps, system verification, measurement results and accuracy issues are presented.
