  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a novel measurement standard for nonlinear in-band distortion characterization. Based on a previously established theoretical work, it first identifies the main limitations of noise power ratio figure of merit. Then, an appropriate alternative is proposed, along with its required measurement set-up.
