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:
“We are born into them, marry into them, even create them among the people we love. They come large and extended...or small and nuclear. But whatever their size or wherever they live, strong families give us the nurturance and strength we need in order to survive.”
—Andrea Davis (20th century)
