Harmonic Distortion of ESD - Analysis of harmonic distortion of ESD protection device

Existing devices will be measured to find important device parameters which influence HD. If needed, a combination of devices inside a more complex electronic circuit will be investigated as well. The continuous operation as well as a burst mode will be investigated. The burst mode is important as devices seem to behave differently during the first oscillations of the high frequency signal. If promising for understanding the root causes, the phase of the harmonics will also be captured. The measurement may include DC bias, temperature variation, digital data traffic to reflect usage scenarios.
