✦ Synopsis

This article presents an overview of nonlinear measurement techniques for microwave power devices. Several useful measurement techniques available in Europe are described. Trends, especially in the area of high-power and time-domain measurements, are discussed. A summary of the TARGET ("Top Amplifier Research Group in a European Team") Network of Excellence (NOE) related tasks is described, in order to show how TARGET can improve the European nonlinear-measurement capabilities.
