HEMT's capability for

This paper presents a tutorial review on the High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) for low-noise and power applications at millimeter wave range frequencies. The major parameters to achieve high performance with such devices are discussed. Present status on power and noise performances is given for InA1As/InGaAs HEMTs on InP and GaAs substrates.
