A +typical application of cascade is the analysis of a receiver. A text +description of the receiver block diagram consisting of things like +amplifiers, mixers, and filters is entered into cascade. Each element +is characterized by its gain and optionally noise figure, and third +order intercept point. The program then analyzes the system and +produces a report detailing the performance at each stage. + +A summary is produced which shows the relative contributions to the +total system performance of each block. This allows easy +identification of what limits system performance. |
