TUMA11: Differential Device measurements in 6G (D/G band) - Active, passive and frequency Translating devices

Presentation Abstract
D band and G band are still the two most promising bands for 6G research area. The initial research was all related to single ended devices - amplifiers, filters, mixers etc. However, in the recent times the differential device testing and characterization of the devices has become important. The fundamental devices needs to be characterized from DC to highest frequency possible (KHz range to 200+GHz). A Vector Network analyzer with true differential stimulus and Differential probes is required for device characterization and testing. Measurements such a differential IMD, Gain, Gain compression, Noise figure are crucial measurements.
