Communication impairment sources through a transponder are explained in conjunction with a methodology defined to characterize total degradation resulting from them. Several transponder utilization scenarios are studied with respect to total degradation and optimum operation conditions are demonstrated. © 2015 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscommunication satellitedigital modulationlinearitymulticarriertotal degradation (TD)transponder simulationtravelling wave tube (TWT)Conference Object373378
