frequency applications has been developed. The thermal noise performance of the device
has also been analyzed, including the distributed gate. The equivalent‐current noise source
takes into account the thermal noise generated by the resistive and inductive gate, and the
results so obtained are compared with experimental/simulated data, and are in close
agreement.© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 97–105, 2001.
