Useful Second Order Equations
In the following equations f refers to the fundamental frequency, and 2f refers to the second-order distortion component frequencies.
- OSOIdBm = ISOIdBm+GdB
- Pout,f,dBm = Pin,f,dBm - ISOIdBm + OSOIdBm
- Pout,2f,dBm = 2Pin,f,dBm - 2ISOIdBm + OSOIdBm
- Pin,2f,dBm = 2Pin,f,dBm - ISOIdBm
- Pout,2f,dBm = 2Pout,f,dBm - OSOIdBm
is the difference in power between the fundamental output and the output of the second-order components, as shown on the figure to the right.

Famous quotes containing the word order:
“The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system ... which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
