B.2.b Out-of-band IIP3 measurement<br />

To measure the out-of-band input referred third or<strong>de</strong>r intercept point, two tones are<br />

applied at high frequencies (f1 and f2), close to one another. The RF filter is centred on the<br />

wanted signal at fwanted. The two far-away tones transfer some modulation to the wanted<br />

signal, which will result in two tones close to fwanted and on each si<strong>de</strong> of it. As before, the IIP3<br />

can be related to the difference between the wanted signal level and the modulated tone.<br />
