Linearity Test for ver 3 Board



Ran a linearity test from 400kHz to 50mHz. Power level was set at -70dbm.  I’ll do another run at a higher power level later, but previous testing showed an even better response curve.

Surprisingly, the circuit over this range of frequencies without the frontend compensation components had better results. 32mv compared to 40mv.  Over the hf range the variance was 12mv for no compensation and 20mv for the circuit with the compensation components added in. Maybe the circuit has better results on frequencies between 100 to 500 mHz.   Since a change of 1dBm results in a change of 25mv, this represents about .5dBm difference when not using the compensation components within the hf frequencies.
