Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for extracting and verifying the high-frequency model parameters of the HICUM L0 and L2 models of a silicon-germanium HBT from device and circuit measurements in the 110-325-GHz range. For the first time, the non-quasi-static effects, missing in the HICUM/L0 model, are found to be essential in accurately capturing the frequency dependence of the transistor maximum available power gain beyond the inflection frequency for unconditional stability. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the optimal partitioning of the area and periphery components of the junction base-emitter, base-collector, and collector-substrate capacitances, and of the internal and external base and collector resistances can only be determined from <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">S</i> -parameter measurements beyond 200 GHz. The extracted models are validated on state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear circuits (amplifier, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and VCO + divider chain) operating at frequencies as high as 240 GHz.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
