- Absolute maximum input level without attenuation: +10 dBm - Absolute maximum input power with 30 dB attenuation for a short time: +20 dBm - Input interface point of third order modulation products (IIP3) with a 0 dB attenuation: +15 dBm - 1 dB compression point at +2 dBm with 0 dB attenuation Benefits and why it matters - Provides robust headroom for strong RF signals, reducing the risk of unexpected distortion in test setups. - 30 dB attenuation allows safe handling of higher input power for short durations, protecting the device during high-power tests. - IIP3 specification at 0 dB attenuation gives a clear indication of linearity against third order intermodulation to support accurate system design. - A defined 1 dB compression point establishes the usable linear range and helps predict how the device behaves as input levels rise. Use scenarios - Lab characterization of amplifiers and receivers under high signal conditions to evaluate linearity and headroom. - RF front-end testing in wireless transceiver development to verify overload margins and IMD performance. - Component compatibility testing in mixed RF environments to ensure tolerance to strong input signals without damage.
