This informal discussion group is devoted to sharing information and issues related to instrumentation utilized in vector large-signal network analysis of microwave circuits and systems that contain nonlinear elements.

Topics include: Large-signal measurements utilizing nonlinear vector network analyzers (NVNAs), e.g. Microwave Transition Analyzers (MTAs) and Large-Signal Network Analyzers (LSNAs). NVNA measurements in conjunction with loadpull, sampling oscilloscopes, vector signal analyzers, and other test equipment used to perform large-signal measurements.

We hold meetings three times a year: At the Spring ARFTG conference (associated with the IEEE International Microwave Symposium) and at the Fall ARFTG Symposium. Earlier in the fall, we also organize a meeting at the European Microwave Week, and that event is supported by EuMA (European Microwave Association). The aim is giving more of the European NVNA Users a chance to participate.

Take a look at our notes from our past meetings, including minutes, news, and presentations and annnouncements of upcoming meetings.

We hope to see you at a future meeting!
