On different load configurations for mixed-mode load-pull measurements, hybrid imperfections, and tuning ranges
David Veit, Michael Gadringer, Erich Leitgeb
Each of the various methods for mixed-mode load-pull measurements, which can be found in literature, has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this publication, we analyze two of the most commonly used setups and a third setup of which we provided an initial treatment in a previous publication. We investigated the impact of 180° hybrids on the tuning capabilities of a mixed-mode load-pull syste
