摘要
This paper provides novel analytic expressions and methodology for predicting the large-signal gain of RF power MOSFETs. The expressions are derived from a model that includes input and output matching impedances, source inductance, and gate resistance. Using the load line concept superimposed on a nonlinear current generator, this paper demonstrates reasonably accurate predictions of gain and gain compression point.
