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:
“All the sciences are now under an obligation to prepare for the future task of philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the rank order of values.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
