Nonlinear vector network analysis: A technique for characterising complex RF and microwave systems by accounting for non-ideal, nonlinear behaviours in devices and measurement instruments.

The calibration procedure is tested on a 0.6-mum CMOS pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which suffers from a high degree of nonlinear errors. The calibration gives improvements of 17 and 26 ...

For a 590-kHz sinusoidal signal, the calibration improves the ADC signal-to-noise-distortion ratio and spurious-free dynamic range from 41.3 dB and 52.1 dB to 72.5 dB and 84.4 dB, respectively. With ...

In this study, we used both a 13 C-labeled and an unlabeled amino acid mixture to establish isotope calibration curves for 16 amino compounds, using the 6-aminoquinolyl- N -hydroxysccinimidyl ...

The calibration curve was constructed by plotting the peak area against the concentration, using linear regression analysis. Accuracy and precision Accuracy was carried out by adding a known amount of ...

The homogeneous alkaline-catalyzed transesterification reaction of triacylglycerols with methanol is the chemical conversion option that has met with the greatest favor in industrial biodiesel ...
