P1dB Compression Point
All active components have linear dynamic range for power output. Once output power
reaches the maximum level, active component will enter the non-linear saturated area of
P1dB point and cease amplifying signal intensity as well as produce harmonic distortion.
It is very useful for P1dB point measurement in active components such as low noise
amplifier, mixer and active filter
