Exhibit B

6.1 Amplitude Linearity of Any Transmission Channel

With a transponder input consisting of two RF carriers, each having a signal level below the level which produces single carrier saturation, the level of each third order intermodulation product shall not exceed the levels specified in Table B-9. These levels shall be measured at the output of each of the RF carriers.

This specification shall be met under the following conditions:

1) With any frequency separation in excess of 100 KHz but within the

passband of the transmission channel.

2)

At any frequency within the 36 MHz bandwidth of the transmission channel.
