Modeling of Induced Gate Thermal Noise in HEMTs

We present an analytical surface potential based model for the induced thermal noise at the gate terminal in High Electron Mobility Transistors, due to gate channel coupling. Our model is applicable to any HEMT device. We also present the results of the validation of our model with experimental data from literature.
