Abstract :
The analysis of many analog circuit architectures for image filtering assumes that the circuit elements are linear. We introduce an analytic method to predict the harmonic distortion in the output due to nonlinearities in the circuit elements. This approach is based on finding equivalent input noise generators, a concept familiar to circuit designers
