Abstract
This paper presents the Volterra input-output map as an extension of theS-parameters towards weakly nonlinear RF and microwave devices. This `VIOMAP'can be measured and it can be used to predict the behavior of cascaded nonlinear twoports.I. INTRODUCTIONIn the 50's the concept of S-parameters was introduced to model and to cascade linearmicrowave devices. During the 70's commercial instrumentation became available whichresulted in a breakthrough of these parameters.In this article it...Keywords
