Noise Loading Analysis in FDM Systems

This paper investigates the characterization of nonlinear distortion produced in FDM systems under high-frequency operation, by using noise loading techniques. By employing a general Volterra-based model, the paper develops an appropriate noise loading technique for the assessment of nonlinear distortion in such wide-band transmission systems. The advantage of using Volterra series representation is that it takes account of system nonlinear-memory behavior in a combined formulation.
