Non-Linearity Intermodulation<br />

Intermodulation distortion = 3 rd IM product / fundamental<br />

(Amplitude must be known for interpretation)<br />

Assume small amplitudes, i.e. the amplitude of the<br />

fundamental can be expressed by a 1A and the IM3 is 3/4a 3A 3<br />

Third order intercept point describes the amplitude where the<br />

IM3 equals the fundamental<br />

(Hypothetical as for high amplitudes higher order non-linearity becomes noticeable, i.e. meas. is done for small amplitudes followed by extrapolation)<br />
