Electrical measurement of the junction temperature of an RF power transistor

An enhanced electrical method is presented for measuring the average junction temperature of an RF bipolar transistor. A two-step procedure, previously developed for DC operation, is extended to include the junction temperature measurement for an RF power transistor in a tuned amplifier circuit. The...

description An enhanced electrical method is presented for measuring the average junction temperature of an RF bipolar transistor. A two-step procedure, previously developed for DC operation, is extended to include the junction temperature measurement for an RF power transistor in a tuned amplifier circuit. The measurement technique is convenient, since it can be used with normal, packaged devices, and does not require a complex heat flow model or ambient temperature measurements.< >
