This paper explores the concept of total harmonic distortion (THD), a widely used metric for quantifying the nonlinearity exhibited by a device. THD is commonly defined as the proportion of the root mean square (RMS) sum of harmonic signal amplitudes related to a desired fundamental frequency, in comparison to the RMS sum that encompasses both the fundamental and its harmonics. Discover how the MS464xB VectorStar VNA can be leveraged to enhance setup speed, flexibility, and the availability of intermediary measurements for optimization purposes.
