Modulation transfer noise effects from TDMA carriers to FDM/FM carriers in memoryless nonlinear devices
Abstract
This paper examines modulation transfer noise effects from TDMA carriers to FDM/FM carriers in a common memoryless nonlinear amplifier. The modulation transfer noise consists of discrete as well as continuous spectral components. Three types of discrete components are identified: those due to pulse filtering only, those due to on-off bursting only, and cross terms due to both mechanisms simultaneously. The continuous spectral component of the modulation transfer noise is due to pulse filtering only. A comparison of the relative intensities of all these noise components is also presented.
