An empirical-table based FET model

A new large signal field effect transistor (FET) model combining empirical and table based models was developed and investigated experimentally. The Chalmers empirical model was used as a spline function for the table based model. Combining models improves accuracy and simplifies and speeds extraction. The procedure can be applied for other types of devices.
