On the Performance of Digital Communication Systems With Bandpass Limiters - Part II: Two-Link System

This paper examines the performance of a two-link digital communication system operating in the presence of Gaussian noise on both links when bandpass limiters are inserted into the system. The product of the signal time duration and the noise bandwidth for the systems under consideration is small. It is concluded that under certain conditions, the presence of a limiter can improve the performance of the system. Also, a simplification of previous work is presented when an infinite clipper is introduced at baseband in the detector.
