A new method for measuring the noise parameters of a FET/pHEMT device is proposed.By measuring the matched (50 Ω ) noise figure
F
50
based on the intrinsic H-parameters and the intrinsic chain noise matrix C
emA
INT
the linear equation of the gate noise temperature
T
g
and drain noise temperature
T
d
is obtained.The statistic analysis of the
T
g
-T
d
figure is performed at all frequencies range
and then the measured noise temperatures
T
g
and
T
d
are determined.In terms of noise network synthesis theory
the full chain noise matrix C
emA is co
mputed
and the corresponding noise parameters(
F
min
R
emn and Γ
opt
) are determined.The measurements for three FET/ pHEMT devices show that the results are perfectly in accordance with these by means of Garcia and Lázaro.
