Multicarrier Intermodulation products - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello,

This is regarding the intermodulation products from Multicarrier transmission. Suppose I have six carriers (1840.6 Mhz,1841.6Mhz,1842.6MHz,1843.6MHz,1844.6 MHz and 1845.6 MHz) spaced 1Mhz apart and fed to a power amplifier.

In this case howmany pure IM3 products will be there?. I did excel calculation and come up with 30 IM3 products(calculated using 2*f2-f1....). Is this correct?

How many IM5 and IM7 products?

Has anybody got excel/matlab for making this type of calculations?

Appreciate your help.
