Abstract

In this study, noise figures of 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$-GaAs MESFETs are predicted experimentally with different temperatures. Both the noise figure and the gate leakage current are obtained with wide range of temperatures(27$^{\circ}C$∼300$^{\circ}C$). From the results, gate leakage current increases with temperatures. It is expected that gate leakage current contributes directly to the increase of shot noise current. It is therefore highly recommended to apply an accurate noise analysis to the design of the devices and modules at high temperatures. Fini,Uy the relation between the gate currents resulting in the increase of noise and the noise figures of submicron GaAs MESFETs are traced with different temperatures
