Intermodulation distortion analysis of a complex signal in a microwave optics transmission line

Abstract

The requirements for RF fiber optic links for placement on board an Earth satellite or other spacecraft [1–3] are distinguished by a combination of additional hard indicators: by weight, overall dimensions; energy efficiency of the power supply; radiation resistance; reliability of long-term autonomous functioning; out-of-band emission level; cost. Therefore, the development of such devices is relevant and in demand.
