← TechnologyWhich outcome increases when exceeding a satellite transponder's amplifier compression point?
A)Increased intermodulation product distortion✓
B)Reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
C)Enhanced spectral efficiency gains
D)Decreased bit error rate (BER)
💡 Explanation
The increased intermodulation product distortion occurs due to signal clipping. Amplifier non-linearity generates unwanted frequencies because the signals are overdriving the linear range. Therefore, distortion products increase, rather than improving SNR or BER within assigned spectrum.
