Abstract
In this chapter the topics of sensitivity and dynamic range for a receiver are addressed. We begin by introducing their definitions, the concepts of minimum detectable signal, signal-to-noise ratio, 1 dB compression point (CP 1 dB), saturation, and some relationships between input and output CP 1 dB), intermodulation distortion, thirdorder intercept point (IP3), receiver blocking, and spur-free dynamic range. The relationships between these parameters as applied to building blocks in a cascade arrangement making up a receiver, and the overall parameters for the receiver, is presented. The chapter ends with an example of how changes in the sequence of building blocks in a cascade impact the sensitivity and dynamic range of a receiver.
