For the rest of the group I pose a question: If we assume that we are going to modulate the downlink with BPSK, can we get away with hard limiting (i.e. Class-C) amplifier? Do we really care about occupying a spectrum about twice as wide as "best engineering practice"?
This has long been decided -- we WILL be limiting, and everything will be constant envelope. Class C or even class E amplifiers should be used.
