Abstract
The modeling and characterization of nonlinear microwave devices and systems like power amplifiers, mixers and oscillators has been a hot topic during the last few years. The evolution of characterization techniques has opened the way to more refined modeling approaches, allowing for memory effects and complex device dynamics, while the progress in modeling framework has in turn stimulated the development of new and unconventional characterization techniques. Finally, the increasing demand of multiport characterization has fostered the development of multi-port and differential load-pull measurement techniques. The purpose of the workshop is to present an overview of the state of the art in this field with contributions on recent developments from some of the top research groups belonging to the TARGET European Network of Excellence.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
