Which performance degradation results when intermodulation products overload an antenna?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the linearity range introduces unwanted signals via *intermodulation distortion*, causing spurious signals to interfere because the amplifier's *gain compression* reduces sensitivity to the desired signal. This decreases receiver blocking immunity, rather than increasing selectivity or improving SNR.
