Abstract :
Concentrating on vector network analyzer with nonlinear calibration software, this paper establishes the test systems of microwave power amplifier scattering function, introduces the essential calibration method of the test systems, and validates the correctness of calibration method. And the scattering function is acquired by testing power amplifier which has been designed, and nonlinear characteristic under practical working condition is analyzed based on the scattering function.
