Compr. Point / Compr. Val.
Displays or hides all results related to the x dB (or x degrees) compression point of the
trace, where x is the selected compression value. To obtain valid compression point
results, a power sweep must be active, and the trace format must be dB or phase.
For dB traces, the x dB compression point of an S parameter or ratio is defined as the
stimulus level where the response value has dropped by x dB compared to the
response value at small stimulus signal levels ("small signal value"). For phase traces,
the x degree compression point of an S parameter or ratio is defined as the stimulus
level where the phase value has dropped by x° compared to the phase value at small
stimulus signal levels. By default, the analyzer uses the value at the "First Point" of the
selected evaluation range ("Evaluation Range...") as an approximation for the small
signal value. However, you may also choose a different
The compression point is a measure for the upper edge of the linearity range of a DUT.
It is close to the highest input signal level for which the DUT shows a linear response,
so that the magnitude of all S-parameters remains constant).

"Cmp In" is the stimulus level at the compression point in units of dBm. "Cmp In"
always corresponds to the driving port level (e.g. the level from port no. j, if a trans-

For dB formatted traces, "Cmp Out" is the sum of the stimulus level "Cmp In" and

For phase formatted traces, "Cmp Out" is the response value at the compression
point.
The info field shows invalid results ('----') if the wrong sweep type or trace format is
selected, or if no compression point with the configured properties was found.
