I have a low noise amplifier which has a HEMT as its transistor. (ATF38143). I have been trying to create a component in LT Spice and came across this website.
The page linked here is a .cir file for ATF34143 and it was the closest HEMT I could find.

I copied and pasted the script in a text editor and saved it in the .cir format. Then, I opened it with LT Spice, highlighted the name of the HEMT in the first line of the .cir file to create a new component.

Unfortunately, when I attempt to simulate the circuit, it results in an error. I have tried the same simulation without the user defined HEMT and the result of the simulation appeared reasonable.

I have also tried the .cir file of a different transistor from the same website (linked here) and went through the exact same steps to create a component corresponding to the .cir file. It worked smoothly.

Could someone take a look at the content of the cir file for the ATF34143 transistor shown on the website and point out what's wrong with it? Given that I was able to create a new component with a different .cir file, I am certain what's in the .cir file for ATF34143 is wrong.

I have also attached my asc file contaning the circuit I was trying to test.

The ATF34143 model calls the BATF34143 GASFET model. Unfortunately LTspice doesn't recognise the GASFET type and its listed parameters.

Hi

Try model attached.
Be sure to change mesfet symbol "prefix" attribute from Z to X (if it isn't already X).
