In this paper, the base/collector current characteristics of InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) for Volterra analysis are extracted using the low‐frequency harmonic‐power measurements with the associated phase‐polarity information. The determining equations are derived via a systematic approach in order to acquire the general expressions to any nonlinear orders. The simulations and experiments of two‐tone intermodulation distortions for an HBT device verify the extracted results. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
