Intermodulation distortion is one of the most interesting signal analyzer measurements. Often abbreviated IMD, it is an important metric of linearity for a wide range of RF and microwave components.

Link-budget analysis in radio-receiver design determines whether the noise and distortion performance of the system meets the design specifications. The analysis attempts to cascade the specifications ...

There are two key measurements in determining power amplifier quality, efficiency, and linearity: the third-order intercept (abbreviated TOI or IP3) point and the 1-dB compression (P1dB) point ...
