Abstract :
In this article, we describe two engineer-friendly events - the Automatic RF Techniques Group (ARFTG) Nonlinear Measurements Workshop and the Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer (NVNA) Users´ Forum - designed to let participants learn about and discuss issues related to large-signal and nonlinear measurements. Because new methods and applications of nonlinear measurements are being developed at a rapid pace, these events were organized to provide a forum where bench-level engineers and the research community alike could learn about the latest techniques and technologies and share experiences.
