RF Microelectronics

Q- Two static, time-invariant, and non-linear systems have the following input/output
characteristics:

System1:

y(t) = α1x(t) + α3 x3(t) ; where α1 > 0 and α3 < 0

System 2:

y(t) = β1x(t) + β2 x2(t) ; where β1 > 0 and β2 > 0

Derive the expressions for:

1 (a) Gain of the fundamental frequency across the cascade of system1 and system 2.

1 (b) 1 dB gain compression point for the cascade of system1 and system 2.

1 (c) IIP3 of the cascade of system1 and system 2.

2. What would be the expressions for 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) if the systems were cascaded in the
order system 2, system 1.

Note: Give arguments that explain your derived expressions for various frequency components in
the output.
