For 2 tones test with the same amplitude level

IIP3(dBm)=Pin(dBm) + Delta(dB)/2

where Delta = Pout(dBm)-IMD(dBm)

so we can get IMD=3xPin + G - 2xIIP3

What IMD would be if the 2 tones signals are different amplitude levels?

Thanks.
 

Assuming the picture below we get:

PL(dBm) = P1(dBm) - 2*[OIP3(dBm) – P2]
PU(dBm) = P2(dBm) - 2*[OIP3(dBm) – P1]

Could also provide the derivation ?

Thanks.
 

PL(dBm) = P1(dBm) - 2*[OIP3(dBm) – P2]
PU(dBm) = P2(dBm) - 2*[OIP3(dBm) – P1]

and OIP3(dBm) = IIP3(dBm)+G(dB)


The G here is the gain @ fundamental frequency ?

or the gain @ f1 or @ f2?

Thanks
 

Yes, G is the gain at fundamental frequency.
