CASCADE(1)CASCADE(1)NAMEcascade - Noise and distortion analysis for cascaded systems.
SYNOPSIScascade [GNU style options]
cascade file
DESCRIPTION
The cascade program analyzes the noise and distortion performance of a
cascaded system. The functional blocks in the system are each charac‐
terized by a gain and optionally noise figure and third order intercept
point. In addition a source with a particular signal level and noise
level may be specified. Cascade then calculates the system noise fig‐
ure and input third order intercept at each stage. If the source was
specified, the signal level, carrier to noise ratio, and distortion
level is reported at each stage in the system.
Cascade accepts the following options.
--copyright Displays copyright information.
--help Displays help information.
--version Displays current version of the program.
