Abstract

Nonlinear distortion of a device under test (DUT) is detected by obtaining measurements of a multi-tone input signal from a signal generator to a DUT, to obtain a measured multi-tone input signal. Measurements are also obtained of a multi-tone output signal from the DUT that is generated based on the multi-tone input signal, to obtain a measured multi-tone output signal. A correlated part of the measured multi-tone output signal that is correlated with the measured multi-tone input signal is determined insofar as the correlated part corresponds to a frequency response function of the DUT.
