back-off of 12dB should be considered between the input1dB-compression point (P1dB) and the maximum input
signal. This back-off is due to the PAPR (Peak-to-Average
Power Ratio) of the varying envelope of the OFDM signal.
The PAPR in WiMAX standard is assuming to be around
12dB [8]. Since the maximum signal handled by the
WiMAX receivers is -30dBm, therefore the required P1dB
for this mode would be:
P1dB _ min = Pin _ max + 12 = 18dBm

In the high gain mode, the signal is weak with low power
at the input of the radio frequency receiver. For WiMAX
standard, the minimum input signal can reach -91dBm. Thus
the signal needs a large amplification. Assuming that the
desired signal is generally accompanied by a CW
(continuous waveform) interferer with a maximum power of
-30dBm, then the required back-off from the P1dB is around
4dB. Consequently the input-1dB-compression point is
measured as:
P1dB _ max = Pin _ max + 4 = 26dBm
