Method and system for broadband analog to digital converter technology

A system, comprising:

• a modem configured to receive a communication signal and generate a frequency spectrum of the communication signal;
• and
• a digital signal processor (DSP) configured to analyze the frequency spectrum of the communication signal to determine one or more characteristics of the communication signal,
• wherein the one or more characteristics of the communication signal occur due to a nonlinear device that operates on the communication signal.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, with a modem, a communication signal;
• generating, with the modem, a frequency spectrum of the communication signal;
• analyzing, with a digital signal processor (DSP), the frequency spectrum of the communication signal;
• and
• determining, with the DSP and based on the analyzing, one or more characteristics of the communication signal, wherein the one or more characteristics of the communication signal occur due to a nonlinear device operating on the communication signal.
