OIP3 Testbench

Use the OIP3 Testbench block to verify the output third order intercept (oip3) of an Amplifier block.

Open the model.

open_system('oip3_example.slx')

Open the amplifier block and change the following under Nonlinearity:

  • Intercept points convention = Output

  • IP3 = 20

In the OIP3 Testbench block, clear the following:

  • Simulate noise (both stimulus and DUT internal)

  • Show Response spectrum

Run the model. You will see that the display shows a oip3 value of 20 dB.
