Correlation between the reliability of HEMT devices and that of a combined oscillator-amplifier [PDF]
We evaluate an oscillator-amplifier MMIC submitted to high-temperature operating life time tests. To relate adequately these results with individual components’ results, it is important to realise that failure mechanisms in non-linear MMICs are governed ...
