  • Abstract
    In this paper, a new accurate pulsed load-pull and S-parameter integrated measurement bench is presented. Calibration techniques and verifications performed on the test-set are described. Finally, measurements on a medium power MESFET (10 × 100 μm) by Alenia Marconi Systems have been performed under pulsed and nonpulsed conditions, showing good agreement with expectations, thus further confirming the accuracy of the system.
