Low-Band Receiver Mixer: Third Order Input Intercept Point
(IIP3)

Control state: 011000

SEE APPENDIX A: TEST BENCH SETUPS

Test setup Figure 21

The third order input intercept point is the level of the RF input
power at which the output power levels of the undesired
intermodulation products and the desired IF products are equal.
The measurement is performed using three RF sources and a
spectrum analyzer.

1) Set the first RF source input power (RF P

in

) and frequency

(F1) (see Table 8).

2) Set the second RF source frequency to the first RF frequency

plus 60kHz; F

2

.

3) Using a RF combiner, connect the RF sources to the EVM RF

input port, J15.

4) Set the LO source frequency and input power (see Table 8).

Connect the LO source to the EVM LO input port, J12.

5) Set the spectrum analyzer to measure at the IF frequency (F

IF

)

(see Table 8).

6) Connect the EVM IF output port, J11 to the spectrum analyzer.

7) Measure the Fundamental output power at the IF frequency

(F

).

8) Measure the Intermodulation products (2F
