What is the term for the reduction in receiver sensitivity caused by a strong signal near the received frequency?
Desensitization
Desensitization (or blocking) occurs when a strong off-channel signal reduces the gain of the receiver's front-end or IF stages (often by driving them into non-linearity or activating AGC), making it harder to receive weak desired signals.
