Featured IP: Novel measurement of intermodulation distortion (IMD) in ferrite circulators
Understanding and measurement of IMD is critical for the design of next-generation microwave and RF amplifier. However, although the measurement of IMD in ferrite circulators is already established, to date it has not been possible to examine the individual causes of IMD. Research at the University of Manchester has generated a method for measuring and evaluating the IMD of the ferrite elements within circulators and separating the individual factors contributing to IMD.
