1. [Amps] IMD test question (score: 1)

Is there a way for a homebrewer to accurately measure IMD without expensive equipment? I'm thinking of doing two-tones at full power into a dummy load while listening on a second RX nearby. How does

Bill, I'm SURE with today's multitude of hams with SDR radios, you should easily get dozens of hams to give you "on the air" results. It seems there is a lot of IMD cops out there. Pick one. In a mes

Trouble is most of 'em don't know how to tell the difference between your IMD and their receiver overload! Rx connected to a PC with a decent sound card and some known attenuators is a reasonable sta

There is lots of older lab grade HP test equipment on the surplus market. You dont need a SA that goes way into the GHz range to do an HF amp. I started with a 141T system in 97 and upgraded twice as

There are a few hams on the West Coast who have marvelous antennas and "sufficient" amplifiers that have significant IMD. These hams happen to have the strongest signals and also have "followers" who

Larry.. Why not just use one transmitter with two audio tones 2 KHz apart? Can you expound on this a bit? 73 Jim W7RY Bill, I have made amp IMD measurements with the circuit shown at http://www.w0qe.

Jim, There are NO radios currently made (that I know of) that are capable with 2 audio tones input of having output IMD <-60dBc when driving even a dummy load. Even when driving the radio to 1/2 or 1

RX overload and purity of 2-tone sources are only important if the TX IMD is good (ie low). But there are no such problems when measuring BAD signals. These only require a dynamic range of 30-40dB, a

Rx overload can be an issue that gets mistaken by those who do not understand the use of the attenuator for transmitter generated IMD if the receiver is seeing a massive signal from the subject trans
