Abstract

Certain disclosed methods include: transmitting an excitation signal into the MUT and transmitting a reference signal to a set of magnitude and phase (M/P) detectors; receiving the response signal; separately comparing a magnitude and phase for each of the excitation signal and the reference signal with corresponding detection ranges for a first one of the M/P detectors; separately comparing a magnitude and phase for each of the response signal and the reference signal with corresponding detection ranges for a second one of the M/P detectors; iteratively adjusting the excitation signal until the response signal has both a magnitude and a phase within the corresponding detection ranges for the second M/P detector; and iteratively adjusting the reference signal until the reference signal has both a magnitude and a phase within the corresponding detection ranges for the first and the second M/P detectors.
