intermodulation distortion

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
intermodulation distortion [‚in·tər‚mäj·ə′lā·shən di‚stȯr·shən]
(electronics)
Nonlinear distortion characterized by the appearance of output frequencies equal to the sums and differences of integral multiples of the input frequency components; harmonic components also present in the output are usually not included as part of the intermodulation distortion.

(electronics, communications)intermodulation distortion - (IMD) Nonlinear distortion in a system or transducer, characterised by the appearance in the output of frequencies equal to the sums and differences of integral multiples of the two or more component frequencies present in the input waveform.

Third order intermodulation distortion (note 4*): -50 dBc (At average output power of over 60W).
With two internal signal sources -- each with high output power (+16 dBm), low harmonics (-59 dBc), a wide power sweep range (40 dB), and a built-in pulse modulator and signal combiner, the PNA-X can easily perform amplifier intermodulation distortion, hot S22, traditional S-parameter and pulsed-S-parameter measurements along with harmonic and compression measurements.
The third-order output intercept points (IP3) for the devices range from 37 dBm to 41 dBm, providing the performance required for applications demanding low intermodulation distortion and wide dynamic range.
