Abstract :
We describe a method for preserving time-invariant phase determination of nonharmonically related signals. In particular, signals produced by intermodulation are considered. We provide simple examples to illustrate our technique, and show how this method is suitable for intermodulation measurements of nonlinear devices and circuits operating at microwave frequencies.
