The use of high-resistivity SIMOX substrates has been proposed to enable the integration of low-loss adapted lines for MMIC applications in SOI CMOS technology. In this work we investigate the impact of the substrate resistivity on another important substrate coupling effect: the intrinsic load impedance of active transistors in amplifier configuration, which conditions the device maximum stable frequency. Related device and line modelling aspects are also discussed
