Hi
It seems to be some problem to build equipment to measure over
+35...40dBm IP3, and xtal filters seem to cause intermodulation
problem with this level

What I am after is constructions to build which works to measure
higher IP3. Would also be interested to see IP3 measurements for xtal
filters

Padded-down spectrum analyser ??

36 to 63V P-P into 50 ohms ain't easy ;-)

...Jim Thompson

it is sort of calculation to find the IP3, you could measure 1dB
compression or just the IM
