Zusammenfassung:	A versatile system is described for the large-signal characterization of microwave power MESFET's. High accuracy is obtained through vector error-correction techniques. The system is calibrated using a procedure based on conventional automatic network analyzer calibration measurements and a series of simple insertion loss measurements. The measurement system provides accurate reflection coefficient and RF power data over a wide range of device loading conditions.
