Better Alternative for Measuring Amplifier Linearity
This application brief compares three methods for assessing amplifier linearity: third-order intercept, noise power ratio, and crest factor (with complementary cumulative distribution function - CCDF). The crest factor (CF) approach is shown to provide a clearer indication of signal compression (non-linearity), to be lower cost, to be simpler and less prone to errors, and to provide higher accuracy results.
