“…Finally, the output/input power ratio ξ can be calculated as [2] Figure 2a,b shows the relationship between C n /ξ and γ dB in the case of soft envelope limiter model and erf model, respectively, where the IBO here is defined as γ dB 20 log 10 γ . As expected from (17) and (18), since the correlation between the input and output signals becomes higher as we increase IBO, the effective signal term (C 0 ) increases, whereas the other terms that represent residual distortions decrease. In the case of the soft envelope limiter, when γ dB is low, the third-order distortion term (C 1 ) becomes dominant, but as γ dB increases, higher-order terms eventually dominate.…”
