    What is the connection between IP3 and 1dB comp. point

    Finally, now I can go to sleep peacefully... :-) The answer for the interviewer was not such a big deal - to understand this point was the most important for me... I must say that it was a honor to be part of such a fertile discussion - tho, I just asked the questions... ! Keep help each other...

    What is the connection between IP3 and 1dB comp. point

    !!! Wow !!! Great answer ! I read your answer and your attached article several times, and you succeeded to convince me for all the Amplifiers which could be described with this mathematical expression, But, there is always - but :-) - what about all the others ?! What's the problem with all...

    biff44 - what you mean by "how sharply the compression point is achieved" ?

    What is the connection between IP3 and 1dB comp. point

    Thank you guys for the detailed answers - I really appreciate it, logbook: You absolutely right, IP3 is a theoretical point indeed. What I meant was, if you have an Amp. with IP3 value of +30dBm. you should expect for a problem with measuring it (of course - in the linear part - small signals)...

    Why is there a need for isolation in mixer design?

    You remind me something very funny about this, I used to work on a 30 years old receiver system which made of two segments, one was location finding and the other was just simple receiver... Because, at those days it was imposible to produce a four phased match amplifiers all over P-KA bands...

    What is the connection between IP3 and 1dB comp. point

    Hello everyone, Help needed: What is the connection between IP3 and 1dB compression point in RF Amplifiers ? as I understood, when I deal with Amp. with high IP3 (for example: +30dBm) there is a problem to measure it with spectrum analyzer... And I don't know what's the answer ? I assume that...
