OIP7

In the world of telecommunications, There's a concept that requires some explanations, It's called the intercept point, you see, A figure of merit, as clever as can be. In weakly nonlinear systems it resides, Measuring distortion that cannot hide, For receivers and amplifiers too, This concept helps us understand what they can do. The third-order intercept point, oh so grand, Relates nonlinear products, you understand, To the linearly amplified signal it compares, Showing us the distortion that's hidden there. But don't be fooled by its mathematical might, For in the physical world, it's out of sight, Beyond the damage threshold it lies, A concept that's purely theoretical, in disguise.
