Rick, the 1dB compression spec is P1dB or Pout at 1dB gain compression. This is an output power spec not input power. So the input power at P1dB= +15dBm is -4dBm or 19dB less than the output power at 1dB gaiin compression. The linear gain is 20dB minus 1dB because the part is into 1dB of gain compression that's how you get the 19dB.

We have placed the spec sheet and ordering information on Joe's website
for  those interested. Just go to the following URL and follow the

Is the IP3 spec referred to input or output? The 1 dB compression spec (+15 dBm) does not make sense in light of the 20 dB gain spec. It implies that you can get +34 dBm out if you put +15 dBm in. +34 dBm is 2.5 watts. Also, it would be useful to know the IP2 spec. Thanks,
