S-Parameter Measurement

• Typical measurement parameters: Gain, Return Loss (VSWR), Isolation
• Typical frequency range: 10 MHz to 65 GHz 
• Typical power range: -40 dBm to 0 dBm
• Calculations: K-factor, Gain flatness

Noise Figure Measurement

• Typical measurement parameters: Noise Figure, Associate gain
• Typical frequency range: 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz 
• Typical power range: Noise source power-dependent

Power Input Power Output Sweep Measurement

• Typical measurement parameters: Output power, Gain compression (p1dB)
• Typical frequency range: 10MHz to 26.5 GHz
• Typical power range: -60 dBm to +30 dBm

Two-Tone Measurement

• Typical measurement parameters: IP2 (input or output), IP3 (input or output), IM3
• Typical frequency range: 10 MHz to 50 GHz
• Typical power range: -70 dBm to +30 dBm

Frequency Conversion Measurement

• Typical measurements: Mixer, Multiplier, Divider
• Typical measurement parameters: Conversion Gain, Conversion Loss, Frequency Conversion Accuracy
• Typical frequency range: 10 MHz to 50 GHz
• Typical power range: -70dBm to +30dBm

Other Measurements

• Transfer Curves (DCIV, gm, etc.)
• Sensitivity (power, voltage, etc.)
• Pulse Characteristics
• Phase Noise (spot measurement technique using Spectrum Analyzer)

Typical Tuning Methods Include:

• Ribbon bond (for signal flatness and gain)
• Add/remove bonds (capacitance/resistance)
• Add/remove epoxy (improve ground/noise)
• Molytabs (control input/output signal paths)
• Active laser trimming

• Antenna Systems for Military Applications
• Radio and Telecommunications Equipment
• Aerospace Radar Systems
• Point-to-Point Communications Systems
