| The problems related with the intrinsic noise in FET/HEMT channels induced by continuous branching of the total current between channel and gate are considered in the framework of a simple analytical model and its predictions on the current-noise spectra. Main branching-induced effects such as the appearance of an additional noise related to the excitation of plasma waves, its dependence on FET/HEMT embedding circuits, interference properties, etc. are analysed. |
