Counter Intermodulation Distortion aka 4FMODs

4FMOD CIM3

4FMODs and Counter IM3 New to transmitter design? Trying to understand what metrics are used by industry for transmitter design? You might have heard of primary 4FMOD (also called CIM3) and secondary 4FMOD (also called CIM5). Unlike traditional IM3 which is generated by intermodulation of two tones, CIM3 and CIM5 are primarily generated by distortion […]

Transmitter Specs

transmitter design metrics infographics

Transmitter Specs Having little exposure to Industry, academic researchers wonder if they are designing the transmitter for the right metrics? Are transmitter specs all about output power and linearity? And besides what metrics are used by industry to characterize linearity? If you have such questions, you have landed at correct place. Take a look at […]
