Thomson Silicon Carbide MESFET was characterised in DC, small signal and load-pull conditions. Several amplifiers were designed to be used in communication systems (digital television, DAB) and were measured. A comparison with a LDMOS amplifier showed that SiC is a very promising material for microwave and RF power amplification.
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.
