| IP3 out of band - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. john Post subject: IP3 out of band Unread postPosted: Mon May 30, 2005 5:56 am What is the method to mesure and calculate Input IP3 Out of band, meaning 2 signal out of the IF filter caused IM3 inband. Top Guest Post subject: Unread postPosted: Mon May 30, 2005 5:34 pm You know, I think you need to create your own method but what about this: Measure input tones trough a broadband directionnal coupler, Measure inband IMDs at the output, Divide by the gain the IMD products as measured at the output The ratio of what measured at the input and the products is some sort of IMD measure. Top Guest Post subject: IP3 "out of band" Unread postPosted: Tue May 31, 2005 11:26 am Umm - It appears the question is poorly put. IP3 is the (hypothetical) point where the power in the 3rd order IM distortion products is equal to the power in the desired output. If there is zero desired output (as there will be if your filters are adequate), then there cannot be an IP3 as usually defined. The previous respondent hinted at this when he said that you'd get "some sort of IMD measure" with the process he outlined. If this measurement is for meeting a requirement, then you need to get the specifier to clarify the intent and execution of tests for this spec. Good Luck!

Are you talking about two out of band signals mixing and causing an unwanted inband signal? If so, can't you inject two tones into the part of the circuit you are concerned about?
