In this chapter we shall first review the various measurement techniques which are traditionally used for the characterization of RF circuits. Next we will introduce several nonlinear vector network analyzers (NVNAs) that have been developed to characterize the nonlinear response of circuits at radio frequencies (RF). Having described the operating principle of the various NVNAs, we will then focus in the rest of this chapter on the sampler-based NVNA. In particular, its operating principle, calibration, and extension to broadband modulation and pulsed RF signals will be discussed in detail. Overall, this chapter will provide some insights into nonlinear measurement techniques, which should complement the remaining chapters concerned with platform-independent modeling, design, and linearization techniques. 2ff7e9595c
