Getting Started with the ZNL – Compression Measurements

The Rohde & Schwarz ZNL vector network analyzer can be used to make measurements of gain compression and calculate compression points (e.g. P1dB) through its intuitive user interface. This presentation provides step by step instructions on how to make gain compression measurements, including explanations of the relevant configuration parameters and typical measurement results.
