Description
Gain compression is measured by changing the power level at the
input mixer from -15 dBm to -5 dBm and measuring the change in
display level using the spectrum analyzer marker function. This is
done at two frequencies: 100 MHz and 2.2 GHz to check both the first
mixer and YIG-tuned mixer, respectively.
