Abstract

An intermodulation (IM) generator based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is demonstrated. This generator has maximal 80 dB dynamic range with a size that is smaller than 65 mm × 40 mm × 1.5 mm. A biased Schottky diode is mounted onto the slotted plane of SIW and it consists of a nonlinear dipole to radiate nonlinear signal to the carrier domain and serve as reference signal. A polarized slot helps focus the linear carrier wave onto the diode and construct a bias-controlled IM distortion. The experiment proves that this device can generate the IM3 reference ranges from-112 to-32 dBm at 2 × 43 dBm, while its minimum step can reach lesser than 0.5 dB. This proposed device can serve as tunable IM standards in PIM test and calibrate the commercial PIM tester.
