Abstract
In this brief it is shown that the power of the intermodulation noise of a wide-band amplifier with dynamic nonlinearities can be estimated by the total harmonic distortion (THD) with a sinusoid input signal of appropriate amplitude and frequency. The THD is, as opposed to the in termodulation noise, easy to measure and use as a design parameter. Th is brief is an extension of our paper [1], which treats static nonline arities.
