Author\´s reply [to \´Comments on "Mop-up equalization of certain AM-PM distortion effects in FDM-FM transmission systems" \´]

The original author notes that the Commentor (E. Henley) deserves full credit for first noticing the relationship between certain TH-1 distortion problems and secondorder sideband asymmetry. It is not apparent, however, that his IF equalizer bears any clear relationship to the equalizer discussed in my letter. Almost any adjustable IF equalizer can be made to favorably affect the noise in a particular noise slot, but in general it will not do so without adversely affecting other slots or other performance characteristics.
