Rate upper Bounds for Bandlimited Channels with a Memoryless Nonlinearity
Beschreibung
We are interested in computing upper bounds (on capacity) for bandlimited channels with a memoryless nonlineary at the transmitter/receiver.
One application for these bounds are short-reach fiber-optic communication systems with a single photodiode at the receiver. The photodiode is a memoryless nonlinearity, as it produces an output that is proportional to the squared magnitude of the input signal.
A simple upper bound for the above model is given in [Sec. III D, 2].
