Abstract :
This paper presents a setup for the nonlinear vectorial characterization based on the computation of the input-output signals¿ Higher Order Statistics. This setup assures a high dynamic range in the measurement and a broad useful bandwidth. The phase reference presents no bandwidth constraints since it is obtained directly from the input signal. The proposed setup was validated by simulation and the results state the validity of the method.
