MMIC; MMIC

generic acronym for high-frequency integrated circuits (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits).

Transistor à effet de champ; field effect transistor

The field-effect transistor is an active component with three electrodes (Gate, Source and Drain) used in particular to amplify a signal. The output current is modulated by a variation in the gate-source voltage.

Transistor bipolaire; bipolar transistor

The bipolar transistor is an active component with three electrodes (base, emitter and collector) used in particular to amplify a signal. The output current is modulated by a variation in the base current.

Modèle électrique; electrical modeling

Electrical circuits describing the macroscopic behavior and electrical...
