A new method for characterization of HEMT distortion parameters, which extracts the coefficents of a Taylor series expansion of I ds ( V gs , V ds ), including all cross‐terms, is developed from low‐frequency harmonic measurements. The extracted parameters will be used either in a Volterra series model around a fixed bias point for 3 rd ‐order characterization of small‐signal I ds nonlinearity, or in a large‐signal model of I ds characteristic, where its partial derivatives are locally characterized up to the 3 rd order in the whole bias region, using a novel neural‐network representation. The two models are verified by one‐tone and two‐tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) tests on a PHEMT device. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2006.
