im3 ip3

Hi! Does anybody know what IP3 and IM3 meaning are? In fact, I already knew the abbreviation. I hope someone could give me the physics meaning or any documents that can let me understand them. TKS.
 

Hello,


Here you go...

3rd Order Intercept Point (IP3): This is a figure of merit in dBm for the device and normally varies with tuning.

3rd Order Intermodulation Product (IM3): This is the power of the spurious 3rd order intermodulation signal in dBm units, measured with the spectrum analyzer.

For more details go through the attached document...
