Abstract

A system, device, and method for evaluating dynamic range in a communication system utilizes a narrow band multiple tone test signal for emulating a wide band composite signal equivalent to the symbol rate bandwidth of a digitally modulated carrier. The multiple tone test signal is constructed such that a significant portion of the third order intermodulation distortion products fall within the channels adjacent to the test channel so that the dynamic range can be evaluated with a commercially available industry standard CATV analyzer using a standard adjacent channel power measurement technique.
