Amplifiers for AMultichannel Single-Sideband Radio Transmitters

Considerations are given for designing high-frequency amplifiers whose performance will meet the high standards required for amplifying multichannel signals. A relationship between tone and speech data is presented to show how the tone rating of the amplifier can be determined from the speech rating and interchannel modulation noise requirements. Some of the factors which influence distortion and some methods of reducing such distortion are also discussed.
