摘要
The thermal characteristics of the laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors were discussed. The effect of the temperature on the different direct current (DC) parameters, capacitances, and the correlations between power capability, efficiency and linearity were analyzed. The analysis was helpful in device selection according to specifications and was confirmed with computer aided design (CAD) tools. The transistors have applications in power amplifiers for cellular radio systems and global system for mobile communications (GSM) systems.
