The 1 dB input compression point is the RF input power at which
the gain compresses 1 dB. Gain compression is when an increase

1) Set the RF source frequency (see Table 4) and the input
power (P

) to -35 dBm. Connect the RF source to the EVM RF
input port, J20.
2) Set the LO source frequency and input power (see Table 4).
Connect the LO source to the EVM LO input port, J12.
3) Set the spectrum analyzer to measure the output power at the
IF frequency.
4) Connect the EVM IF output port, J21, to the spectrum
