Physically, most amplifierexperience gain Compression for large small-signal gain is related to the slope at a givenpoint. For the graph on the left, the gain decreases forincreasing M.

Properties of Intercept Point IP3 Since the third order IM distortion products increase like s3 i, we expect that at some power level the distortion products will overtake the fundamental signal. The extrapolated point where the curves of the
