Hi,
I read the following link on IP3 calculation:
**broken link removed**
There are three stages (stage 1 and stage 3 are amp while stage 2 is bandpass filter) which has the OIP3 and gain respectively:
OIP3 +21dBm(125.9) inf dBm(inf) +25 dBm(316.2)
Gain 15 dB (31.62) -3 dB (.5) 15 dB (31.62)
Hi,

There are three stages (stage 1 and stage 3 are amp while stage 2 is bandpass filter) which has the OIP3 and gain respectively:
OIP3 +21dBm(125.9) inf dBm(inf) +25 dBm(316.2)
Gain 15 dB (31.62) -3 dB (.5) 15 dB (31.62)
The 33 is due to the fact that they went from OIP3 to IIP3. The difference of IIP to OIP is the Gain.
So if you subtract the Gains from the system and take it away from the OIP3 you will get the IIP.
But it should be 27dB not 33. --> 15+ (-3) +15 = 27
