    Thread Summary
    
                The user inquired about obtaining more accurate IP2 data for HMC636 and HMC374, both with a P1dB of 22 dBm. The support engineer confirmed that IP2 data was not measured for these parts, and the GaAs devices' consistency in P1dB/IP2 offset was used instead. The user also sought help with converting a SysParameter model from Genesys to ADS, and the support engineer provided a correctly structured MDF file example, which resolved the issue.

    Hi,
    

    I noticed that the IP2 parameter is usually entered as 20dB above P1dB.  Is there any way to get more accurate IP2 data?
    

    I am specifically wanting to know which part has better IP2 performance, HMC636 or HMC374.  Both have P1dB = 22dBm.
    

    Regards,
    

    Chris
