Which risk increases when an RF amplifier nears saturation?

A)Increased intermodulation distortion
B)Decreased phase noise floor
C)Improved amplifier efficiency
D)Reduced harmonic suppression

💡 Explanation

Increased intermodulation distortion risk occurs because exceeding the amplifier's linear range causes non-linearities, amplifying intermodulation products signals through amplitude modulation. Therefore, intermodulation surges rather than decreases because other effects would require a linear signal.
