TI-84 Plus CE: Bucket Curve Analysis
Introduction
The program, originally presented by David Burch in the April & May 1985 edition of Datafile (see source below), calculates radio-only noise (dB) and system noise (dB) give the following variables:
* Tangential Idel noise
* Second-order Intermodulation
* High-order Intermodulation
The program, which Burch originally did for the HP 41C, eliminates the need for radio-only and echo noise nomographs.
The program, ported for the TI-84 Plus here first solves for radio-only noise (P_S) by solving the equation for P_I by repeated iteration:
I = I - 10 log (1 + 10^((I-M)/10)
After each iteration, H is stored to M and H zeroes out. Radio-only noise is solved when M = 0. At that point, P_S = M.
where:
I: intial idle noise (dB)
M: second-order intermodulation
H: high-order intermodulation
The next step is calculate system echo noise (P_D):
N = N - 10 log (1 - 10^((N-S)/10)
The initial value of S is P_S.
Iteration happens again until N = 0,which at that point, P_D = N.
