Abstract

Nonlinearity characterization that transmits bursts of information where symbols vary by a value Delta. The bursts can be bursts of a constant power, followed by another burst of a different constant power. An alternative burst system uses interleaved power symbols, where some symbols in a single burst are at the first power and others are at the second power. The signal-to-noise ratio of the two groups of symbols is estimated, and the difference is used to determine whether or not to reduce the amount of saturation in the transmitter.
