Method for determining correct timing for pulsed-I/V measurement of GaAs FETs

Pulsed voltage testing of GaAs FETs is now widely used, and pulses of widely varying periods and repetition rates are reported, without justification. A method for determining both necessary and optimum values of these timing parameters is suggested, and measured results are presented.
