Abstract :
The performance of an ideal hard limiter in the presence of wide bandwidth noise is investigated in a simplified way. The output noise spectral density near zero frequency is of primary interest since it determines the performance of a system using hard limiters such as in a PLL. It is shown that this spectral density is a function of the input SNR and the noise bandwidth. The theoretical results are verified by measurement
