Patent ID: 8892380

Claim:
A method of measuring data for noise parameters in a test setup including an impedance tuner, comprising: (i) setting a tuner state to one of a set of tuner states; (ii) setting a sweep parameter to a value in a set of multiple sweep parameter values; (iii) measuring data at said tuner state and sweep parameter value; (iv) repeating steps (ii) and (iii) for a different sweep parameter value in said set of multiple sweep parameter values until data has been measured for all sweep parameter values in said set; (v) changing the tuner state to another of said tuner states in said set of tuner states; (vi) repeating steps (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) until data has been measured for each of said tuner states in said set of tuner states, wherein the data is measured as a function of the sweep parameter for said set of parameter values for one tuner state at a time.
