RF Signal Quality Measurements: Third-Order Intercept Point (IP3) and Power at 1 dB Compression (P1dB)
Mon, 24 Nov 2025 21:51:21 | Engineering Resources
RF signal quality is a key concern when building an RF system. Most RF systems and are designed and built to operate in the linear range. The linear range is the region of operation where the output power is some constant multiple of the input power. When the input is driven past the linear region, non-linear behaviors begin to develop, mainly the generation of harmonics and intermodulation products at the output of the device.
