QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF NONLINEARITY AND MEMORY EFFECT IN NONLINEAR CIRCUITS

摘要

An input signal is transmitted to a component. A distortion associated with the component is determined based, at least in part, on an output signal generated by the component in response to the input signal. A distortion error measurement associated with the component is determined based, at least in part, on the distortion and the output signal generated by the component. A memory effect and the associated nonlinearity within the component are quantified based, at least in part, on the distortion error measurement.
