✦ Synopsis
The solution accuracy for the Taylor-series coefficient evaluation of FET nonlinear current characteristics is presented, based on various experimental considerations, using theoretical and numerical interpretations. Through this study, the FET effective-load resistances dramatically affect the output harmonic-power levels that determine the measured accuracy due to the limited dynamic ranges of spectrum analyzers. Graphical and quantitative representations of the solution quality for different set of attenuators are also shown in order to provide selection guidelines. Extractions on a commercial MESFET are performed to verify the developed methodology.
