    Rohde & Schwarz offers app note on intermodulation distortion measurements on spectrum analyzers

    intermodulation distortion measurements on spectrum analyzers

    Intermodulation distortion (IMD) plays an important role for many spectrum analyzer based measurements. Mostly spectrum analyzers are used to measure IMD of a DUT. However, a spectrum analyzer may also contribute to IMD due to the non-linear behavior of its different active components used in its signal path. In this appl
