Abstract :
In this paper, we show a design of a novel low-cost and broadband active load-pull system based on the NVNA equipped with two internal signal sources. An active tuning algorithm based on least squares method was implemented and tested as a part of the hybrid load-pull system. Exemplary measurements were taken and results are as expected.
