Abstract:An electronic load module (ELM) for a combined waveform and harmonic load-pull measurement system is presented which is based on an IQ modulator concept. A first realization of the ELM based on commercial ICs for 1.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz fundamental frequency is given.Several key application ranges of the measurement system are highlighted: Refinements in understanding device physics, modelling, model verification and direct nonlinear parameter extraction, and "waveform engineering". Some measurement examples are gi… Show more
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.
