Abstract
We provide a technique to generate and characterize a precision wideband millimeter-wave linear chirp signal. This linear chirp signal has 2 GHz of bandwidth, a center frequency of 30 GHz and repeats every 50ns. The signal can be used as a reference waveform for characterizing the phase dispersion in wideband receivers. The generation of the signal is based on frequency multiplication of a linear chirp signal that is generated by an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). The signal is characterized by an equivalent time sampling oscilloscope that is synchronized to the 12 GHz sampling clock of the AWG. The oscilloscope measurements are corrected for timing jitter, mismatch and impulse response.
