IEEE Recommended Practice for the Usage of Terms Commonly Employed in the Field of Large-Signal Vector Network Analysis

Abstract

Common terms in large-signal vector network analysis are defined in this recommended practice. Some fundamental terms used in small-signal vector network analysis that are also commonly used in large-signal vector network analysis are covered as well.

Scope

This recommended practice defines common terms in large-signal vector network analysis. Some fundamental terms used in small-signal vector network analysis that are also commonly used in large-signal vector network analysis are covered as well.

Purpose

The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide guidance to professionals in the field of large-signal vector network analysis in employing terms to describe common large-signal-vector-network-analysis concepts and in employing fundamental terms commonly borrowed from small-signal vector network analysis that are also often used in large-signal vector network analysis.
