Measuring Nonlinear Differential RF Amplifiers Using One Single-Ended Source

A measurement procedure for the nonlinear baseband response of a differential amplifier is proposed using the large-signal network analyzer. The setup uses only one single-ended RF generator. A simplified nonparametric model for the frequency response of the device and its nonlinear contributions over a wide power range is proposed, measured, and validated experimentally
