Linearity Verification of Microwave Receivers Using a Precision Power Meter

Linearity Verification of Microwave Receivers Using a Precision Power Meter

The basic technique for linearity measurement, described later in detail, is to use the TEGAM Model 1806 Power Meter to

transfer NIST calibration factors to the receiver via TEGAM’s feedthrough power standards. This precludes the need to make

direct microwave measurements at the frequencies of interest.
