Ur welcome...
I didn't want to mention it in my post but I can't remember if the
following case will or will not happen in an amplifier. So if someone
can confirm or deny this:
If I am running two tones at say 30 and 30.1 MHz and am generating
harmonics at 60 and 60.2 MHz, will those harmonics beat together to form
intermod products as well? Or in order for intermod to form does the
signal have to appear at the input of the amplifier? Can intermod be
generated by signals appearing only at the output?
I don't think so, but I can't remember for sure and I don't want to go
digging through old books and notes.
Any ideas anyone?
