## Abstract A method to extract the elements of the small‐signal equivalent circuit and the noise parameters (NPs) of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is presented. The extraction is done by simultaneous fitting of the measured __S__‐parameters, noise figure (for a well‐matched impedance),

Abstract
By deriving new Z‐parameter equations, accurate extraction is performed to determine all base‐collector model parameters in a SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) equivalent circuit directly from measured S parameters, without any test structure and geometric calculation. The calculated power and current gains are in good agreement with the measured gains, thus verifying the accuracy of the extraction. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A simple and efficient way of extracting the small-signal model parameters of the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is proposed. This novel approach provides a new insight into the strong correlation between the extrinsic and intrinsic HBT model parameters and raises the optimization efficienc
In this article, we present a parameter extraction approach for deriving the equivalent lumped-element model of spiral inductors embedded in a multilayer structure by using the genetic algorithm (GA). In many RFIC applications, it is very important to achieve an inductor with a good quality factor (
