Abstract :
The intermodulation due to the traveling-wave tube (TWT) is analyzed for the case where arbitrarily modulated carriers and Gaussian noise are amplified through the TWT. Both AM-PM conversion effects and nonlinear amplification in the TWT are considered. The possibility of reducing intermodulation for system improvement is also discussed.
