However, this is nowhere a complete list! First, some definitions :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- @string{ieeespt = "{IEEE} Spectrum"} @string{ieeetcad= "{IEEE} Trans. on CAD"} @string{ieeetmtt= "{IEEE} Trans. on Microwave Theory and Techniques"} @string{ieeeted = "{IEEE} Trans. on Electron Devices"} @string{ieeetmtt= "{IEEE} Journal of Solid-State Circuit"} --------------------------------------------------------------------- A recent survey paper is @article{Vendelin90, author="G. D. Vendelin90, title="Evaluating Nolinear Models for Microwave {GaAsFETs}", journal=ieeespt, year=1990, pages={48--50}, month="September" } It contains a table of commercial available simulation tools for GaAs MESFET designs. Five GaAs MESFET models are mentioned. They are (1) Statz-Pucel's (Raytheon) Model: -------------------------------------- @incollection{Pucel75, author="R. A. Pucel and H. A. Haus and H. Statz", title="Signal and Noise Properties of {GaAs} Microwave Fiels Effect\ Transistors", booktitle="Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics", publisher="Academic Press", year=1975, editor="L.
