The maturation of low cost Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) MOSFET technology in the microwave domain has brought about a need to develop specific characterization techniques. An original scheme is presented, which, by combining careful design of probing and calibration structures, rigorous in-situ calibration, and a new powerful direct extraction method, allows reliable identification of the parameters of the non-quasi-static small-signal model and the high-frequency noise parameters for MOSFETs. The extracted model is shown to be valid up to 40 GHz.
