In this article, an improved firefly algorithm is proposed to extract the parameters of the small signal model of GaN HEMTs on SiC substrates. First, the initial values of the parameters are extracted directly by pinch-off, unbiased cold S-parameters and hot S-parameters. Second, an improved firefly algorithm is proposed to optimize parameters. Finally, in order to verify this method, the performances of traditional algorithm are compared with modified firefly algorithm in convergence speed, execution time, and accuracy, which shows that this proposed method is more suitable for the extraction of highdimensional parameters model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
