RF and Communications Fundamentals: Understanding Distortion Measurements

Overview

Three closely related measurements used to specify system linearity are 1 dB compression point, third-order intercept (TOI), and intermodulation distortion (IM3). While these measurements might seem complicated, you can understand them with some basic RF amplifier knowledge. In this webcast, learn how component nonlinearity causes both harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
