Third Order Intermodulation Distortion (TOI)

Description

Third order intermodulation distortion
measurement is used to calculate the TOI
products caused by two signals that are close
together in frequency in a non-linear system.
Both the upper and lower third order intercept
points (IP3) are calculated. Markers are placed
at the frequencies of the TOI products and their
respective base signals.

Limits can be placed on the upper and lower
TOI products for limit testing.

Parameters

Reference Lower

Sets the reference level to
lowest base signal.

Reference Upper

Set the reference level to the
highest base signal.

Limit

Sets the limit in dBm for
pass/fail testing

Pass/Fail Test

Enables/disables pass/fail
testing.
