And Microwave Measurement Techniques — Modern Rf

: Techniques like load-pull and source-pull are now essential for characterizing power amplifiers under realistic, large-signal conditions to optimize for efficiency and linearity.

While measuring S-parameters (reflection and transmission) remains the core of network analysis, modern Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) have evolved into "nonlinear" instruments.
