Abstract
We introduce a new technique which allows us to measure the admittance conversion matrix of a two port device, using a large-signal vector network analyzer. This method is applied to extract the conversion matrix of a 0.25 um PHEMT, driven by a 4.8 GHz signal, at different power levels, using an intermediate frequency of 600 MHz. A discussion of the up- and down-conversion is provided.
