Re: transient test - Part II

Hi,

I found something:

IM 2 =a 2 /a 1 *U, HD 2 =1/2*a 2 /a 1 *U


where a 2 , a 1 are coefficients.
U is signal amplitude.


and


IM 3 =3/4*a 3 /a 1 *U 2 , HD 3 =1/4*a 3 /a 1 *U 2


IM 2 =2HD 2 , IM 3 =3HD 3


Under low-distortion conditions, there is thus a one-to-one


correspondence between harmonic and intermodulation


distortion. It is thus sufficient to specify only one of them.

From Sansen, Distortion in Elementary Transistor Circuits
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Vol 46, No 3, March 1999

Cool that we only need to worry about which ever is easiest to
measure and the other is related.
