Abstract :
Replacing the IV-probes used in conventional TLP systems by directional couplers overcomes bandwidth limitations and extends the application range of the rigorous large-signal calibration technique presented previously by the authors. Transient waveforms occurring at the device-under-test are reconstructed without the distortions induced by the measurement system.
