Third-Order Inter-modulation Analysis and Simulation of Inter-Satellite Microwave Photonic Transmit Link

Abstract

In this paper, we firstly researched the main parameters which effect multi-frequency inter-satellite microwave photonic transmit link and analyzed these performance influence factors. Then we gave a multi-frequency inter-satellite microwave photonic transmit link model and analyzed inter-modulation distortion. We also gave the simulation results under different DC offset. We finally gave some advice to eliminate third-order inter-modulation distortion.
