I've placed the test description and results of some SDR-IQ linearity
tests (in .PDF format) on my website given below.  Look in  the SDR
projects section.

If one thing comes out of this test - it shows that the concept of
using Third Order Intercept Point (TOIP) as a measure of performance
for wideband digital receivers  would appear to be completely flawed.

For example, adding in a third tone F3, at a lower level while
monitoring the 2.F1 - F2 Intermod product, causes that product to drop
in amplitude dramatically.   And why does the IMP stay reasonably
constant (in level, not dBc)  as the input level of the two tones is
changed.

Explanations please !
We're well into new territory here.
