Abstract :
This work has an essential purpose; to present a new numerical approach to determine the carrier to noise intermodulation rate applied for satellite communication links by considering the transponder characteristics with respect to the number of carriers as well as their amplitudes. With this platform, it is possible to estimate the degeneration level imposed by the nonlinear element in some generic enlaces, which facilitates satellite communication link networks that have FDMA technology. We introduce, for the first time in the literature, two new lemmas which we hope can give our modest contribution for all institutions and companies with interesting in this field of research.
