Small signal RF amplifier parameters
1. Transistor parameters, DC to microwave
At low DC currents and voltages, one can assume a transistor acts like a voltage-controlled current source with diode clamping action in the base-emitter input circuit. In this model, the transistor is specified by its large signal DC-parameters, i.e., DC-current gain (B, ß, hfe), maximum power dissipation, breakdown voltages and so forth.

Increasing the frequency to the audio frequency range, the transistor’s parameters get frequency ­dependent phase shift and parasitic capacitance effects. For characterization of these effects, small signal h-parameters are used. These hybrid parameters are determined by measuring voltage and current at one terminal and by the use of open or short (standards) at the other port. The h-parameter matrix is shown below.

Increasing the frequency to the HF and VHF ranges, open ports become inaccurate due to electrically stray field radiation. This results in unacceptable errors. Due to this phenomenon y-parameters were developed. They again measure voltage and current, but use of only a “short” standard. This “short” approach yields more accu rate results in this frequency region. The y-parameter matrix is shown below.

Further increasing the frequency, the parasitic inductance of a “short” causes problem due to mechanical depending parasitic. Additionally, measuring voltage, current and it’s phase is quite tricky. The scattering parameters, or S-parameters, were developed based on the measurement of the forward and backward traveling waves to determine the reflection coefficients on a transistor’s terminals (or ports). The S-parameter matrix is shown below.

Every amplifier has an input port and an output port (a 2-port network). Typically the input port is labeled Port-1 and the output is labeled Port-2.

The forward-traveling waves (a) are traveling into the DUT’s (input or output) ports. The backward-traveling waves (b) are reflected back from the DUT’s ports
The expression “port ZO terminate” means the use of a 50Ω-standard. This is not a conjugate complex power match! In the previous chapter the reflection coefficient was defined as:

50 VHF-SWR-Meter built from a kit (Nuova Elettronica). It consists of three strip-lines. The middle line passes the main signal from the input to the output. The upper and lower strip­lines select a part of the forward and backward traveling waves by special electrical and magnetic cross-coupling. Diode detectors at each coupled strip-line-end rectify the power to a DC voltage, which is passed to an external analog circuit for processing and monitoring of the VSWR. Applications: Power antenna match control, PA output power detector, vector voltmeter, vector network analysis, AGC, etc. These kinds of circuit’s kits are published in amateur radio literature and in
several RF magazines.
