摘要
The anomalous dip in scattering parameter S-11 of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is explained quantitatively for the first time. Our results show that for SiGe HBTs, the input impedance can be represented by a "shifted" series RC circuit at low frequencies and a "shifted" parallel RC circuit at high frequencies. The appearance of the anomalous dip of S-11 in a Smith chart is caused by this inherent ambivalent characteristic of the input impedance. It is found that under constant collector-emitter voltage (V-CE), an increase of base current (which corresponds to a decrease of r(pi) and an increase of g.) enhances the anomalous dip. In addition, the anomalous dip in S-11 of SiGe HBTs can also be interpreted in terms of poles and zeros.
