1MA71: Measuring the Nonlinearities of RF Amplifiers Using Signal Generators and a Spectrum Analyzer
 
Abstract: A typical application for signal generators and spectrum analyzers is measuring nonlinearities of RF amplifiers. This application note discusses the basics of nonlinearities and describes the nonlinearity measurement using the R&S Smart Instruments RF Signal Generator R&SŪSM300 and Spectrum Analyzer R&SŪFS300.
