Abstract

Low distortion is one of the most important concerns for current and next-generation wireless communication systems. In this work, the linearity of RF power MOS devices are analysed by using a unique harmonic balance device simulator. Sweet-spots in the third order intermodulation distortion product (IM3) were investigated and interpreted in terms of bias and device design parameters. The demonstrated methodology helps in laying ground-work for improved device design and investigation of new device concepts for improved linearity
