Key benefits - Provides defined input limits for safe operation in strong signal environments, helping protect measurement chains and downstream components. - Enables direct assessment of linearity and distortion points with precise IIP3 and P1dB references. - Supports high power handling when attenuation is available, offering flexibility for short term high level signals without compromising measurements. - Delivers repeatable performance with clear attenuation and reference points, simplifying test setup and data interpretation. Specifications at a glance - Absolute maximum input level without attenuation: +10 dBm - Absolute maximum input power with 30 dB attenuation (short time): +20 dBm - Input interface point for third order modulation products (IIP3) with 0 dB attenuation: +15 dBm - 1 dB compression point (P1dB) with 0 dB attenuation: +2 dBm Use scenarios - RF front-end design and verification: characterize linearity and distortion limits when simulating real-world signal strengths. - Mixer or downconverter testing: determine IIP3 and P1dB figures to ensure expected performance under load. - System integration and protection: plan attenuation strategies for high power environments to protect receivers while performing accurate measurements.
