Computer modeling of communications receivers for distortion analysis

Details of an analysis technique and companion computer program are presented that have application in the area of design and analysis of electronic circuits. Particular emphasis is placed upon the application of the program to the modeling of nonlinear distortion effects in communication receivers. A discussion of moderately nonlinear systems and the treatment of such systems using the nonlinear transfer function approach is followed by circuit analysis as a potential tool in designing and evaluating circuits from an electromagnetic compatibility point of view. An overview of the computer program in terms of some of its more salient features is provided.
