Non-linearity diagnostics of nominally linear components
Václav Papež, Stanislava Papežová · 2015
Traditional methods and new method for measurement of low non-linearity of electronic components and circuits are described in this paper. Maintaining a linearity of components and circuits that are on principle linear is a measure of their quality. Passive intermodulation distortion (PIM) and non-linearity itself arises as a result of faults in production or component degradation and limits their usability.
