Focus Microwaves - Focus Compact Modeling Software
The Focus Compact Model (FCM) utility is a streamlined software package designed to be used with Focus’ AURIGA high-end Pulsed-IV system, that is used to generate Compact Models for transistors from their Pulsed-IV and wideband pulsed s-parameter data.
This is achieved by generating a network of lumped circuit elements that represent accurately the fundamental linear & non-linear behavior of the device over a broad range of bias and power range.
The result of the modeling is a netlist and compatible with- the most common CAD tools used in RF Design; such as AWR Microwave office (MWO) and Keysight PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS).

The purpose of electrical representation or equivalent circuit of HEMT or any transistor in the form of lumped circuit elements is to implement and simulate its static and RF behaviour in CAD tools. This technique is particularly useful and often directly correlated to physical entities within the device structure, as illustrated below.
The illustration below is a small signal topology composed of a total of 16 linear components.
This is divided into two parts:
i) The Intrinsic part where the region under the gate (modulation occurs here) represented with a set of 8 intrinsic elements (RGD, Ri, CGS, CGD, CDS, GM, RDS, Τ).
ii) The Extrinsic part represented with a set of 8 extrinsic elements (RG, RD, RS, LG, LD, LS, CPG, CPD). These elements need to be extracted for small signal model implementation. The extraction process will be discussed in the following section.

An impedance tuner is an apparatus, which generates controllable reflection factor (Impedance) over a certain frequency range. Focus uses two basic technologies:
a) For frequencies from 100MHz to 110GHz (and above) we use the slide screw technique (models Multi Harmonic MPT, wideband (fundamental) CCMT, harmonic rejection PHT), in which a reflective probe (slug) is inserted into the slot of a low loss slotted transmission line (slabline or waveguide).
b) For frequencies from below 10MHz to 170MHz we use a lumped element technology (models LFT), whereby variable capacitors are connected with optimized lengths of coaxial cable.
