Abstract
This paper presents a solution for the output signal-to-noise ratio of a bandpass nonlinearity which is attractive for numerical evaluations of certain nonlinearities of interest. The solution is obtained by solving a differential equation which results in an expression for the n th order Chebyshev transform of an odd-order nonlinearity in terms of the (n - 1) st-order Chebyshev transform of the derivative of the nonlinearity. The particular cases treated included a linear-logarithmic amplifier, an arctangent limiter, and a piecewise-linear limiter. The approach and results are related to previous efforts.

Analysis of Instantaneous Power Distributions for Non-Regenerative and Regenerative Relaying Signals

TL;DR: The analytical results show that the transmitting signals from non-regenerative relaying tend to suffer from high peak power, which is even prohibitive when the power amplifier (PA) efficiency at the relay is of primary concern.
