Abstract
An automatic network analyzer that measures continuous wave radio microwave driven transfer characteristics of nonlinear devices and simultaneously calculates and displays corresponding noise driven transfer characteristics and noise power ratio data. This automatic network analyzer employs software or firmware that uses closed-form equations to exactly calculate noise parameters. This is done in real-time as CW measurements are taken.
