Abstract
A test setup similar in working principle to that of a commercial VSG&VSA combination is presented for the dynamic characterization of microwave power amplifiers (PAs). Features and performance of the setup are discussed. The paper also considers calibration of the phase measurement of such time domain systems based on the concept of nonlinear phase distortion.
