This paper presents an overview of nonlinear measurement techniques of microwave power devices and amplifiers. Several useful measurement techniques of nonlinear components available in Europe are described. Trends, especially in the area of high power and time domain measurements, are discussed. Finally, a summary of the TARGET measurement related tasks is proposed, in order to show how TARGET can improve the European capabilities in terms of nonlinear measurements.
