In this paper, a relationship between difference triangular sets and sum triangular sets is developed to evaluate the weighted number of the third-order intermodulation products. In addition, a lower bound of the intermodulation products falling into the worst signal channel has been derived using the relationship between difference triangular sets and sum triangular sets. The formulas of the lower bound are useful for estimating the intermodulation impairment level in satellite communication systems.

As spurious emission strength is normally measured at the antenna feeder, It is required that the measurement method on passive Intermodulation occurred on the latter part of antenna feeder be made. through the tests and the analyses of passive Intermodulation between radiostations of adjacent frequency bands, the possibility of occurrence of passive Intermodulation was testified in this study. The purpose of this study is to propose the measurement method of spurious emission strength in order to prevent the bad effect by passive Intermodulation.

The generation of the intermodulation noises in microwave isolators has been studied in relation to the characteristics of YIG ferrites designed for this application. We have investigated the influences of porosity and crystalline anisotropy related to the magnetic loss, which causes the generation of intermodulation signals. The power dependence of the intermodulation power level is stressed as the crystalline anisotropy decreases. These results are consistent with the nonlinear effects of a single normal mode before the excitation of the spin-waves. It also appears that this power level is proportional to the magnitude of dc bias magnetic field.

This work investigates the effects of vibration on the passive intermodulation distortion characteristics of base station antennas for 800 MHz CDMA mobile communication systems. In general, base station antennas are located at high positions such as on building rooftops or iron towers. Thus the antennas are always affected by random vibrations, coming from various natural environmental factors such as rain and wind, or from living environmental factors such as vehicles and trains passing by. The measured intermodulation distortion characteristics before and after vibration accelerated degradation test show that vibrations are indeed the main cause for the intermodulation distortion performances of such antennas. To minimize the effects of vibrations, a new antenna design isptoposed that has an improved tolerance for vibrations. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna design dramatically reduces the degradation of the intermodulation distortion more than 35 dB.

The paper presents a diagnostic tool for analyzing the bit intermodulation in D/A converter. Bit intermodulation cause linearity errors which degrade the performance of the converter. A linear transformation of the Walsh transform of the integrated non-linearity diagram is shown to be sufficient to extract the bit intermodulation terms and their noise sensitivity. Practical applicability of the proposed method is shown by measurement.

A mathematical model for the input-output characteristic of an amplifier exhibiting gain expansion and weak and strong nonlinearities is presented. The model, basically a Fourier-series function, can yield closed-form series expressions for the amplitudes of the output components resulting from multisinusoidal input signals to the amplifier. The special case of an equal-amplitude two-tone input signal is considered in detail. The results show that unless the input signal can drive the amplifier into its nonlinear region, no gain expansion or minimum intermodulation performance can be achieved. For sufficiently large input amplitudes that can drive the amplifier into its nonlinear region, gain expansion and minimum intermodulation performance can be achieved. The input amplitudes at which these phenomena are observed are strongly dependent on the amplifier characteristics.

A linear power amplifier is particularly emphasized on the system using a linear modulations, such as 16QAM and QPSK with pulse shaping, because intermodulation distortion which causes adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference is mostly generated in a nonlinear power amplifier. In this paper, parameters of a linearization loop, such as an amplitude imbalance, a phase imbalance and a delay mismatch, are briefly analyzed to get a specific cancellation performance and linearization bandwidth Experimental results are presented for IMT-2000 frequency band The center frequency of the feedforward amplifier is 2140MHz with 60MHz bandwidth When the average output power of feedforward amplifier is 20 Watt, the intermodulation cancellation performance is more than 28dB. In this case, the output power of feedforward amplifier reduced 3.5dB because of extra delay line loss and coupling loss. The feedforward amplifier efficiency is more than 7% for multicarrier signals.

The structural dependence of harmonic and intermodulation distortion characteristics in 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB-LCD were investigated. The linearity of 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB-LD was greatly improved by employing a partially corrugated structure.

In this paper, the Passive Intermodulation Distortion(PIMD) of high power RF Filter is measured with filter inner coating materials and we suggest how to reduced the PIMD of RF filter coating methods. According to the standard measurement regulation by IEC, the Passive Intermodulation Distortion of Wibro relay high power filter are measured. We suggest the coating materials and coating methods of high power filter inner structure to reduce the PIMD generating by insert loss and worse flatness of filter delay in the design of Wibro high power filter efficiently.
