Large-signal characterization of microwave power devices
Résumé
This article presents an overview of nonlinear measurement techniques for microwave power devices. Several useful measurement techniques available in Europe are described. Trends, especially in the area of high-power and time-domain measurements, are discussed. A summary of the TARGET (“Top Amplifier Research Group in a European Team”) Network of Excellence (NOE) related tasks is described, in order to show how TARGET can improve the European nonlinear-measurement capabilities. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
