Abstract:
This work focuses on the electrothermal impact of large RF voltage swings on SiGe HBTs used in LNA and PA circuits. Measurement data and simulation results are used to present a clear understanding of SiGe HBT reliability, and techniques are introduced to give circuit designers the tools necessary to optimize the performance-reliability trade-off in SiGe HBT amplifier designs.
