Abstract: A tuner system for conducting measurements on a Device Under Test (DUT) includes at least one passive tuner, and calibration data for the at least one passive tuner including a set of s-parameters at a set of calibration frequencies. A measurement on the DUT is done at a measurement frequency at which the at least one passive tuner is not calibrated. The tuner s-parameters at the measurement frequency are determined by interpolation between or extrapolation from the s-parameters at calibration frequencies.

Abstract: A load pull system and method for calibrating the system and conducting measurements on a Device Under Test (DUT). The system includes at least one passive tuner; and a modulated signal connected to the DUT input. The passive tuner is calibrated at multiple frequencies within the modulation bandwidth of the modulated signal. The impedance and measured quantities such as power at the DUT reference plane are determined using tuner s-parameters at multiple frequencies within the modulation bandwidth.

Abstract: An impedance tuner system, usable in a measurement system including at least one measurement system device, the tuner system comprising the impedance tuner having a signal transmission line, and an impedance-varying system coupled to the transmission line, and responsive to command signals to selectively vary the impedance presented by the impedance tuner. An impedance tuner controller is configured to generate the command signals, and wherein measurement device drivers and at least one of characterization, calibration and measurement algorithms are embedded into the tuner controller, the tuner controller configured to allow a user to control execution of said at least one of the characterization, calibration and measurement algorithms using the tuner controller.

Abstract: A mechanical impedance tuner has at least two probe carriages mounted for movement along an axis parallel to the center conductor. The at least two probe carriages including a first probe carriage and a second probe carriage. Each probe carriage has at least N probes where N is an integer equal to or greater than one, and at least one of the N probes is mechanically different or of different nominal geometry from the probes on at least one of the other carriages so that each such probe has an non-identical frequency response.

Abstract: An impedance tuner includes a controller, an RF transmission line, and a movable capacitive object configured for movement commanded by the controller relative to the transmission line to alter impedance. A position sensor is configured to provide feedback position data to the controller indicative of the actual position of the capacitive object after it is moved. The controller is configured to utilize the feedback position data in a closed loop to position the capacitive object at a desired position within a tolerance.
