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 theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything—gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness—rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations.... To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
