    Abstract: A measurement system and a method of removing effects of instability of the measurement system while measuring at least one S-parameter of a device under test (DUT) are provided. The method includes initially determining a characteristic of the measurement system, including identifying a location of an instability in the time domain of the measurement system; determining a change of the characteristic of the measurement system while connected to the DUT; and compensating for the determined change of the characteristic of the measurement system while connected to the DUT by removing effects of the determined change on measurements of the at least one S-parameter of the DUT.

    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting power of a periodic signal in a band of interest of the periodic signal having a predetermined bandwidth. The method includes determining frequencies of multiple tones in the periodic signal, respectively; receiving the periodic signal at a signal analyzer; selectively measuring power values at the frequencies of the multiple tones; and determining a band power of the periodic signal over the predetermined bandwidth by summing the power values at the frequencies of the multiple tones.

    Abstract: A system and method sequentially measure the amplitude and phase of an output signal of a device under test in each of two or more frequency ranges which together span the output signal spectrum, using a local oscillator (LO) signal whose frequency and phase change for each measurement. The measured phase of the output signal is adjusted for at least one of the frequency ranges to account for the change of phase in the LO signal from measurement of one frequency range to another frequency range, including applying to the measured phase a phase offset determined by measuring the phases of two pilot tones in the two or more frequency ranges, using the LO signal. The phase-adjusted measurements of the output signal in the two or more frequency ranges are stitched together to determine the amplitude and phase of the output signal across the output spectrum.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) measurement system acting as a spectrum analyzer and a method of operating the same eliminates image signals from a detected input RF spectrum. The method includes determining at least three local oscillator (LO) frequencies; determining LO offsets between the LO frequencies; and mixing the LO frequencies with the input RF spectrum to provide corresponding intermediate frequency (IF) signals having an IF bandwidth, where at least one of the IF signals has the input RF spectrum mixed to a different portion of the IF bandwidth than at least one other of the IF signals, providing overlapping coverage. The method further includes acquiring ADC time records for the IF signals; performing Fourier transforms (FTs) on the ADC time records to provide IF spectrums; and detecting RF responses from the IF spectrums to determine an RF response trace corresponding to the input RF spectrum.

    Abstract: Scattering parameters of a test fixture having a first port and a second port are measured by providing a test instrument; outputting a one-port reflection test signal from the test instrument to the first port with the second port terminated in a reflective termination having a known reflection coefficient, and receiving at the test instrument a one-port reflection measurement signal from the first port; subjecting the one-port reflection measurement signal to first time gating to generate a first time-gated measurement signal, the first time gating using a first gating function temporally disposed about the first port; subjecting the one-port reflection measurement signal to second time gating to generate a second time-gated measurement signal, the second time gating using a second gating function temporally disposed about the termination; and deriving the scattering parameters from the first time-gated measurement signal and the second time-gated measurement signal.
