what is 1 db compresion point in rf power amplifier

 

[johnjoe]

The Gain is not anymore constant vs. input power but drops about 1dB.

I just posted info on this a few days ago for some one else

as the input power increases, the gain won't be linear. In order to denote the linearity, the point where this linear gain drops 1 dB, is used.

You mean constant not linear?
