A time‐domain large‐signal measurement setup

An active harmonic load-pull setup with the possibility to measure the inner voltages and currents is presented. To overcome stability issues, the realized setup uses open loops with synchronized generators for the 2nd and 3rd harmonic. Application examples show transistor-model verification and influences between harmonic matches. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2005.
