How to do a gain compression check in Radimation[edit]
Test to determine when the amplifier is going in compression. We raise the power at the input level of the amplifier. While we are increasing the power going into the amplifier we measure the output of the amplifier. If the amplifier is saturating the output is not raising anymore in a linear fashion.
You can define different compression points in the test. Below is a test with 2 compression points at 1 dB and at 2 dB.
Frequency range[edit]
