Abstract
Recent developments in microwave and millimeter-wave technologies and in optelectronic technologies have allowed multimedia network systems consisting of a wireless communication system and an optical-fiber communication system to be realized. A optically controlled MMIC is suitable to realize such a system. However accurate physical modeling of optically controlled MMICs has not been completed yet. When gate bias is low, self-oscillation shifts the high frequency side. This paper describes the experimental results of the optically controlled InP based MMIC oscillator with illumination. Experimental I-V curves of MESFET are compared to results obtained using both equivalent circuit analysis and physical modeling using the FDTD method.
