Abstract
Vector Network Analyzer is considered as the classical characterization instrument for RF-devices but it requires time, equipments and increases the cost of tested equipments. A new method is presented and suggested for industrial test of microwave devices. This procedure is based on EVM system-parameter linked to transmission S-parameter. The procedure of the test is easier and six times faster than VNA test. A single value of EVM allows knowing the functionality of the device and few points describe the RF-device characteristics. First tests were done on Butterworth filters of different orders.
