Evaluation of signal-to-noise and distortion ratio degradation in nonlinear systems

This paper presents a new figure-of-merit to evaluate signal-to-noise and distortion (S1NAD) ratio degradation in nonlinear systems, herein referred to as the noise and distortion figure (NDF). In order to obtain a mathematical formula for this NDF, the best linear approximation calculation is prese...
