Abstract:

The analysis of a nonlinear sampled-dataNLSD system subjected to stochastic inputs is shown to be simplified by means of a generalized equivalent gain Keqz, where Keqz is defined as the ratio of the z-transform of the cross-correlation function of the nonlinear element, and the z-transform of the auto-correlation function. Computations for the equivalent gain of five nonlinear elements are performed. Both the NLSD system and the quasi-linear sampled-data QLSD system are simulated on the analog computer and the results compared and analyzed by statistical means. An analytical solution for the QLSD system is also presented. Author
