Abstract
This paper describes an RF network analyzer, the HP 8753B, which has the ability to make nonlinear measurements of amplifiers and mixers. The measurements to be discussed are swept-frequency harmonic distortion, gain compression with power metal calibration, and swept-frequency conversion loss of a mixer. In addition, the block diagram of the network analyzer will be examined in order to explain how these measurements are made.
