Key facts
There are several reasons to characterize RF components under pulsed conditions. Often it is to prevent thermal damage to the device under test or to characterize it under operating conditions. Vector Network Analyzers offer integrated hardware and software for accurate device characterization under pulsed conditions. This hardware includes built-in pulse modulators, pulse generators and synchronization IO including for external device control. S‑parameters, input and output powers and intermodulation products can be measured without any external components to generate RF pulses and synchronize test sequences.
