IM Cal C-Im Table R1a Dec2007

This document contains formulas for calculating carrier-to-intermodulation (C/Im) ratios in a system with multiple carriers based on the number of carriers (n), amplifier 1dB compression point, and third order intercept point. It also includes a table applying these formulas for a system with up to 12 carriers at different power levels and showing the resulting C/Im, intermodulation product power, carrier power backoff required, and equivalent dB allowance.

Formulas Used;

C/Im (dBc) = 2(IP3 - Pc) - 10 Log ((3n^2-10n+8)/8) - 20 Log N - 6dB, for n even
C/Im (dBc) = 2(IP3 - Pc) - 10 Log ((3n^2-10n+3)/8) - 20 Log N - 6dB, for n odd
"n" = Number of Carriers

"N" = Number of Amps = 1
