Abstract :
Analytical modeling of communication receivers to account for their nonlinear response to multiple input signals is discussed. The method is based on the application of the Wiener-Volterra analysis of nonlinear functionals. The derived analytical relations were embodied in a computer program which provides nonlinear transfer functions of large circuits specified by their parameters. This method was applied to the prediction of behavior of communication receivers in the presence of interference. Examples illustrate the method and demonstrate its validity in the small-signal region.
