Abstract
This paper is focused on the performance of the noise resistance R/sub n/ of HEMT's at microwave frequencies as a function of temperature. A sensitivity analysis has been performed on several noisy circuit models of low-noise devices that we had previously characterized in terms of scattering and noise parameters. Such a study has been aimed at pointing out the role played by either the electrical elements and the noise temperatures of the resistors of the equivalent circuit on the typically observed U-shaped behavior of R/sub n/.
