cdrange()

Returns compression dynamic range

Syntax
y = cdrange(nf, inpwr_lin, outpwr_lin, outpwr)

Arguments

Name	Description	Range	Type	Required
nf	noise figure at the output port	[0, ∞)	real	yes
inpwr_lin	input power in the linear region	[0, ∞)	real	yes
outpwr_lin	output power in the linear region	[0, ∞)	real	yes
outpwr	output power at 1 dB compression	[0, ∞)	real	yes

Examples

a = cdrange(nf2, inpwr_lin, outpwr_lin, outpwr)

Notes/Equations

Used in XDB simulation. The compressive dynamic range ratio identifies the dynamic range from the noise floor to the 1-dB gain-compression point. The noise floor is the noise power with respect to the reference bandwidth.
