VIOMAP, the S-parameter equivalent for weakly nonlinear RF and microwave devices

Abstract

This paper presents the Volterra input-output map as an extension of the S-parameters towards weakly nonlinear RF and microwave devices. This "VIOMAP" can be measured and it can be used to predict the behavior of cascaded nonlinear two-ports.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
