Abstract
In the paper of German Torregrosa‐Penalva et al. 1, a confusing result has been presented. The paper demonstrates the compensation of the small‐signal gain drift with change of temperature and improvement of the FET amplifier's PAE using active biasing, which contradicts the previous published work and our experimental results. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Power millimetre‐wave band transmitters are commonly formed by a chain of MESFET or HEMT GaAs MMIC power amplifiers. Under large‐signal conditions the reverse gate output current, which appears at the gate port of those devices due to drain‐gate breakdown mechanisms, causes a drop in th
