My Doctorate Thesis

Short Abstract
This work summarizes the results obtained during the doctorate studies from 2005 to 2008. Most of the time has been spent at the Politecnico di Torino, and about eight months at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado. The research focused on methods for accurate measurements of electrical quantities in the Radio Frequency and Microwave range. The applications involved multiport scattering parameter measurements, noise power and amplifier noise parameters extraction, large-signal transistor characterization and dielectric permittivity measurement.
