Simulation of a transmission circuit composed of slightly nonlinear elements. Computation of the intermodulation on signals composed of N carriers
Abstract
The effects associated with component nonlinearity in a circuit composed of filters, amplifiers and mixers are characterized. A computer program for the computation of the third order intermodulation products, the signal compression, and the corresponding C/I ratio of a multicarrier input signal is described. These nonlinearities are determined by the third order intercept point and gain (or conversion loss).
