Key specifications - Absolute maximum input level without attenuation: +10 dBm - Absolute maximum input power with 30 dB attenuation: +20 dBm for a short time - Input interface point for third order modulation products (IIP3) with 0 dB attenuation: +15 dBm - 1 dB compression point with 0 dB attenuation: +2 dBm Benefits at a glance - Protects test assets with clearly defined input limits, reducing the risk of damage during bench measurements - Provides precise linearity and compression metrics (IIP3 and 1 dB compression) for reliable design evaluation - Enables safe high-level testing by using 30 dB attenuation up to +20 dBm for short durations - Simple integration into standard RF test setups to assess performance without additional adapters What this product helps you do - Assess device linearity and headroom quickly for RF components in development or QA - Characterize nonlinear behavior at the third order (IIP3) to predict distortion in real-world links - Calibrate receivers and RF chains by understanding at what input level compression occurs Use scenarios - RF component testing in the lab: apply signals up to +10 dBm without attenuation; use 30 dB attenuation to reach +20 dBm input briefly for stress testing - Linearity assessment: measure IIP3 at +15 dBm input with 0 dB attenuation to evaluate third-order distortion performance - Front-end calibration: determine the 1 dB compression point at +2 dBm to establish usable dynamic range for receivers and mixers
