Abstract:Perhaps the single greatest justification for the simulation approach to the study of communication systems is the presence of nonlinear elements. In principle, the performance of linear systems can be attacked by analytical means, but the study of nonlinear systems by such means is by and large intractable. Although there have been many analytical studies of one or another nonlinear device, the system context is usually idealized or much simplified compared to realistic scenarios. In addition, it is typical f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
