Preface The present thesis has been written predominantly in the course of my activities as Research Associate (Oct. 2007 till Dec. 2013) at the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT), Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Outline The thesis is structured in six chapters, a summary and an appendix. The core statements of each chapter are introduced in the following. A German translation of the summary is included in an additional chapter. Chapter 1 Synthetic Instruments introduces history and the fundamental idea of synthetic instruments. Block diagrams of synthetic and traditional instruments are shown and critical millimeter-wave components for synthetic automatic test systems are identified. In Chapter 2 Resistive Diode Frequency Multipliers a complete modelling procedure for discrete Schottky diodes is illustrated, which includes the semiconductor and linear parts of the diode. One section deals with single tone large signal analysis of nonlinear circuits,
