Abstract
The operating temperature of the active region of an RF semiconductor device such as a microwave hybrid circuit having a gallium arsenide field-effect transistor therein is determined by measuring signal gain of the device at variable times following application of bias voltage to the device. Bias voltage is applied in response to a constant duty cycle pulse train from which are derived a sample-and-hold command pulse and a synchronized bias control pulse.
