Intercept Point 3rd Order

Third Order Intercept Point (IP3) - The intersection point of the fundamental POUT vs. PIN extrapolated line and the third-order intermodulation products extrapolated line. IP3 is highly dependent on the LO and RF frequency, the LO drive level, and the impedance characteristics of all terminations at the operating frequency.
