摘要

Knowledge of the levels of harmonic and intermodulation products (IMP) created by a nonlinear system is important in order to assess the quality of service in adjacent channels, an assessment that requires estimation of the ratio between wanted signal power and the sum of all noise and interference within the channel. Nonlinearity in transmission channels arises predominantly due to high power amplification using active devices. A prime example is the transparent satellite transponder, the focus of this paper, which performs operations of RF signal reception, frequency downconversion and high power amplification. Based on measurements of transponder performance at C-band and Ku-band it is shown that the AM/AM transfer characteristic is accurately represented by a 7th order polynomial of odd powers in the region up to 20% above the input saturation voltage. Using this model an exhaustive analysis of multicarrier operation was carried out leading to a simple analytic expression for output signal and IMP power, and hence carrier to intermodulation power ratio (C/I) in the case of a two-carrier operation (i.e. number carriers r = 2). For r ≥ 3, the classes of IMPs increase up to a maximum of 24 and expressions are tabulated for the amplitude of each class of IMP in terms of the transfer characterisitic polynomial coefficients. Although the number of IMPs increases very rapidly with the number of carriers r, the transponder's C/I approaches a limiting value at r >~ 12 for any given input power backoff from saturation (IBO). The results of this paper should facilitate simple estimates of C/I ratio in multicarrier operation of nonlinear transponders without the need for time consuming simulations.
