color:#1F497D'>completely agreed. What you mention is not only a Mil
Method, it’s a commercial standard in IMD evaluation e.g. for base
stations in mobile networks where linearity is even more important than in our ssb
application. The 6 dB PEP bonus is not more than an advertising trap.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

look at a signal on Hermes and Mercury and see IMD distortion it is X dB down.
What you see is the real number. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>I don't
agree with the commercial method claiming another 6dB for PEP. The distortion
should also get another 6dB in my view so you end up with the same number. The
Mil Method checks IMD at 6dB below max power (3dB on an average power meter)
Then the IMD is the difference between IMD and carrier peak on the
display. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
