Abstract :
RF error statistics for power, voltage, and phase are presented for an error component which is coherently related to a desired signal. The error component is assumed to have a constant magnitude and a phase distribution which is equally likely and uniformly distributed from 0 to 360°. The statistics which result have non-zero mean values for power and voltage errors and the standard deviation of the errors differ significantly from those projected from Gaussian statistics.
