One open issue is how the radiation couples to the sub-wavelength transistor channel. Here, we studied the coupling of radiation to an AlGaN/GaN transistor with cut-off frequency of 30 GEL Local irradiation with a Free Electron Laser source at 0.15 THz allowed us to selectively couple the signal to the channel through one transistor terminal at a time. Far-field experiments at 0.15 - 0.94 THz were also performed in order to study the nonlinear properties of the transistor channel. %G English %L hal-00546345 %U https://hal.science/hal-00546345 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
