Nonlinear distortion

Nonlinear distortion

Amplitude dependent waveform distortions. This includes APL and instantaneous signal level changes. analogue amplifiers are linear over a limited portion of their operating range. Signals which fall outside of the linear range of operation are distorted. Nonlinear distortions include crosstalk and intermodulation effects between the luminance and chrominance portions of the signal.
