Narrowband Vector Intermodulation Measurements

This novel measurement technique determines accurately the magnitude and phase of nonlinear scattering parameters of nonlinear devices. For these measurements, it is necessary to extend a conventional vector network analyzer with an external phase refe...

Almost all electrical elements and components have more or less nonlinear characteristics: they generate harmonics, mixture and intermodulation (IM) products. In order to prevent these effects from affecting the performance or even damaging the system functionality, a nonlinear characterization is necessary to obtain high end results. In this context,...
