sampling frequency (through the sampling process) to produce a 1st order beat product at 30 MHz. Likewise, the 2nd

and 3rd harmonics of the input signal (generated via distortion in the t/H) beat with the 4th and 6th harmonics of the

sampling frequency respectively to produce 2nd and 3rd order beat products at 60 MHz and 90 MHz. In this manner,

the t/H nonlinearity in the vicinity of 1 GHz can be measured even though the 995 MHz fundamental and the 1.99 GHz

and 2.985 GHz nonlinear harmonics are well beyond the 256 MHz 4 dB bandwidth of the SINx/x response envelope.

the possible input frequency choices are overly limited when the low frequency beat-product technique is used at high

clock rates. A related high frequency beat-product measurement utilizing correction for the SINx/x envelope weighting

must be employed to measure linearity over a wide range of input frequencies. Hittite uses both low frequency and

high frequency beat product methods to measure linearity for a wide range of clock and signal frequencies. our high

frequency beat-product measurement avoids excessive envelope correction error by maintaining all beat products

within the 4 dB bandwidth of the SINx/x function, where the envelope response is well behaved and easily modeled.
