3g UMTS max input signal level - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I am trying to design a 3G (W-CDMA LNA) MobileUnit. I need to find out the p1dB at the input to deisgn the circuit properly. Does anyone know the exact maximum signal in the receive path?

Thanks

You might try looking at transceiver ICs from Skyworks, RF Micro Devices, Renesas, etc., to see what their specs are. That should get you in the ballpark. Otherwise, you can get the 3G test spec and derive the value from it.

I have TG25.101 specification. Section 7.4 in that is very vague and I don't understand it. I do all else! Thanks
