Abstract

A simple general procedure for predicting the carrier/intermodulation power ratio in a 2-carrier-level SCPC system is presented. The number of carriers and their amplitude levels are arbitrary. The satellite amplifier is assumed memoryless, bandpass with amplitude nonlinearity and with AM/PM conversion. The computation procedure presented can be easily implemented by a pocket computer as described in a previous paper by the author (ABUELMA´ATTI, M.T., and GARDINER, J.G.: IEE Proc. G, Electron. Circuits & Syst., 1981, 128, (1), pp. 32Â¿34).
