SIB62 – HF-Circuits
Metrology for new electrical measurement quantities in high frequency circuits
WP4 Traceable Nonlinear Measurements and Extreme Load Impedances
Work Package Leader: CMI
Other participants: NPL, AGILENT, CTU, KUL
This Work Package established traceability for:
- New quantities emerging in measurement of nonlinear devices
- Measurements of impedances significantly lower or greater than the reference impedance of 50 ohms that is used in conventional systems.
In particular, a traceable harmonic load-pull reference for nonlinear device characterisation was established, and metrology techniques for measurement of 'extreme' impedances using conventional Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) were developed.
