For best overall measurement accuracy, large-signal non-linearity

of the signal chain must be minimized. At FGAIN (or RGAIN)

values greater than 0, the ADL5960 exhibits a slight large-signal

gain expansion characteristic, up to 1 dB. This can introduce small

errors in the measured transmission or reflection coefficients. One

way to mitigate a non-linearity error is to calibrate at lower input

power levels, ≤0 dBm for example. Another technique to mitigate a

non-linearity error is by using a polynomial curve fit and applying a

correction after ADC conversion in the digital domain. For a solution

involving external hardware, set FGAIN (or RGAIN) = 0 and add a

high-precision ADC driver, such as the ADA4945.

Finally, the adjustable output common-mode level, up to 8 V p-p

output-voltage swing and up to 200 mA current drive capability,

provide enough flexibility to interface with a broad range of suitable

Σ-Δ, successive approximation register (SAR), or pipeline-based

ADCs with sample rates up to several hundred MHz.
