  • Abstract
    The linear, third and fifth order Volterra kernels for two mildly nonlinear amplifiers have been estimated using common RF laboratory equipment. The estimation is made through a series of least square curve fits between measured data and nonlinear transfer functions. The estimation is validated through the comparison between measured and predicted IM3 distortion levels.
