Characteristic parameters for the evaluation of the linearity of active broadband receiving antennas with large dynamic range
Abstract
Parameters for the determination of nonlinear distortion effects in active broadband receiving antennas are proposed. The study of small-signal distortion characteristics is discussed, taking into account the limiting value of the field intensity in the case of intermodulation and intermodulation distance and dynamics. Problems of large-signal distortion are also considered, giving attention to aspects of cross modulation.
