A11: Nonlinear Measurements and Characterization (1)

Friday, August 22  08:00-09:20,  Room #18

Session Chairs: William Davis, Nuno Borges Carvalho

Nonlinear measurements and characteristics of devices and circuits has long been a challenge. Various attempts to define a parameter set have been suggested, but most are limited to either theoretical models or single frequency measurements. New network analyzer techniques have lead to the introduction of X-parameters that offer the basic fundamental frequency information as well as harmonic information, providing a more complete characterization of a device. For power devices, temperature dependence becomes an additional challenge. This session will focus on new developments and some classic views of nonlinear measurements.
