RT conferenceObject T1 The impact of long-term memory effects on diode power probes A1 Gomes, Hugo A1 Rodríguez Testera, Alejandro A1 Carvalho, Nuno Borges A1 Fernández Barciela, Mónica A1 Remley, Kate A A2 IEEE K1 3307.08 Dispositivos de Microondas K1 3307.14 Dispositivos Semiconductores K1 3307.19 Transistores AB This paper presents an analysis of long term-memory effects on power measurements with diode power probes. We show that a power probe calibrated with a single-tone sinusoidal excitation can provide erroneous values when used with modulated signals. This fact is ascribed to the low-frequency response imposed by the power probe baseband circuit. This hypothesis is first theoretically demonstrated by use of a Volterra series, and then validated by simulations and measurements using a diode power probe.
