IMD Applications (Opt S9x087A/B)

The Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) App is offered for both Amplifiers and Converters, and also can be viewed in Swept IMD channels.

• Swept IMD channels are used to measure over 150 different IMD parameters. These parameters are built from various selections such as: IMD products, tone power levels, intercept points, at the input and/or output of a DUT. In addition, each parameter can be swept using several different methods.
