Abstract: Explore the performance of a nonlinear measurement system featuring integrated active load-pull. The system uses four RF vector signal analyzers to simultaneously measure the incident and reflected waveforms of a 2-port test device. It also includes four RF vector signal generators to provide input drive and 3-harmonic load-pull. All instruments are integrated and synchronized in two PXI chassis to offer rapid and time-aligned throughput of measurement lists. The system control and calibration are implemented in LabVIEW with a data link to a MySQL database. This provides flexible access for postanalysis tools, which is demonstrated using a nonlinear behavior model.
