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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscommunication satellitetransponder simulationlinearitymulticarrierdigital modulationtravelling wave tube (TWT)total degradation (TD)Conference ObjectN/AN/A373378WOS:0003816270000591
