Methods for determining small signal suppression as signals pass through a hard-limiter will be useful to the systems engineer who wishes to obtain a network power balance for satellite communications networks supported by a hard limited satellite transponder.Abstract:
This paper presents methods for determining small signal suppression as signals pass through a hard-limiter. Methods presented will be useful to the systems engineer who wishes to obtain a network power balance for satellite communications networks supported by a hard limited satellite transponder. This class of problem requires the calculation of suppression on satellite links numbered in the hundreds. Therefore speed of calculation becomes important. The key feature of the methods presented is their adaptability to a small desk-top computer and their reduction of processing time.read more

The response of a tanh limiter to amplitude and phase modulated signals
TL;DR: In this article, the response of the tanh limiter to an input consisting of a single-frequency amplitude and phase modulated signal is presented, and closed-form approximations for the output spectrum are derived in terms of the Bessel functions of the first kind.
