IP3 Explained: The Silent RF Distortion Destroying Your Amplifier Performance

Описание: Why does your RF amplifier fail even when gain and noise figure look perfect?
The answer is IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point) — a critical but often misunderstood parameter that defines linearity and distortion in RF systems.

In this short video, you’ll learn:
• What IP3 really means
• Why third-order intermodulation distortion is so dangerous
• How IP3 affects RF amplifiers, receivers, and transmitters
• Why high IP3 is essential in modern wireless systems

IP3 is especially important in:
• RF amplifiers
• Communication receivers
• 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, and SDR systems
• High-dynamic-range RF designs
