We are looking for an easy method here. Swapping side bands does just that. 4.5 KHz doesn't get you out far enough to get all products for all voice frequencies either, but again we are looking for a

It's certainly easy. Let's see. The frequency spread of IM is the difference of the two frequencies. So if we have speech (an ahhh won't work well to replicate real speech) we can consider the frequ

See below: To be a little more precise; the IM is the difference of the two frequencies PLUS the high frequency and MINUS the low frequency for 3rd order products. For 5th order it is 2 times the dif

Thinking a little more about the dynamic IMD with syllabic fluctuations, etc., I wonder if a narrow spaced two-tone test (10 to 30 Hz, ala PSK31) would be a useful proxy. The low-frequency beat would

The extremes of IM3 product are the *highest frequency transmitted* plus 2.7 kHz and the *lowest frequency transmitted* minus 2.7kHz. Consider a 7 MHz USB signal . The upper IM3 would be 7.003 plus

<snip> Gary, I think if you re-examine this, you will find that the products you computed fall on both sides of the carrier frequency. Switching sidebands does not move you to the very next channel.

See below. Hi Tony, Switching side bands IS the same as tuning your receiver the width of your filter. If you have a 3 KHz wide filter and listening to the upper side band and you tune down 3 KHz wit

It looks to me like one group of IM3 products will be mostly OK, except carrier offset causes a gap. That group will miss close-spaced mixing of IM3 products however, so it is incomplete. One group

No. It is not the same. The filter is offset from the carrier in both the transmitter and the receiver, and you will miss the close-spaced high audio frequency tones that would be in the clear if yo

Think about that again. If you are listening to upper side band with a 3 KHz filter and you tune down 3 KHz in frequency with the dial you have moved the band pass the same amount lower in frequency

1.) The passband of the filter is 3000Hz. 2.) The offset is 300Hz from the carrier. 3.) The sideband switch now moves the start of the receiver filter 600Hz lower than the start of the transmitter f

Yes you are right Tom, my apologies. I forgot to add the offsets in when tuning. An equivalent to changing side bands would be to tune down 3.6 KHz rather than 3 KHz. The transmitter doesn't really

Gary, Perhaps that is where the confusion is/was all along. My point was that, as you pointed out, there is a very large portion of the IM that will yield mix frequencies outside the normal listening

I don't think I used the word "precise" there. How far should we then tune away from the wanted signal for any kind of repeatability? In which direction? Do we tune to several different frequencies

Gary, there is one problem with your analysis. Most modern rigs have an 8 to 15 KHz wide filter in the front end (first IF). This filter is symmetric around the "carrier." When switching to the oppos
