Abstract
A vector network analyzer for performing swept frequency measurements on non-linear RF devices, using either an internal or external signal source. This simplifies and speeds linear and non-linear amplifier and mixer measurements, such as impedance, amplifier gain, and mixer conversion loss, on the one hand, and measurement of harmonics, on the other hand.
