This paper describes a novel nonlinear measurement instrument based on a vector and amplitude/phase corrected network analyzer with integrated pulse multi-envelope measurement capabilities. The instrument provides pulse envelope domain measurements at isolated fundamental and harmonic responses (10 MHz to 26.5 GHz) from a nonlinear device to a time domain resolution of less than 20 nanoseconds. The instrument allows one to analyze the dynamic envelope behavior of the device at the fundamental and harmonic responses. Measurement results illustrate nonlinear device long and short term memory behavior from active devices. The resulting measurement results may be used to generate nonlinear mathematical models taking into account long and short term memory effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
