Abstract :
The program written for this study allows calculations for periodically-rephased modulators since the modulator is already broken up into a series of incremental matrices. Thus if the modulator is allowed to be mismatched for a few matrices and then rephased for the next few and so on, we have the results shown for a four segment modulator (3 rephasings). modulators are considered.
