Abstract :
Breaking-up the limitations of VNAs for RF non-linear measurements, the LSNA allows time domain characterizations of full two-port active devices. We demonstrate here some capabilities of the LSNA for pulsed RF signals. We establish a stroboscopic mode based on 3 different sampling techniques. This approach is suitable for repetitive pulsed RF signals.
