Nonlinear Distortion
</dt>
Distortion
caused by a deviation from a proportional relationship between specified
measures of the output and input of a system.
</dd>
The related measures need not be output and input values of the same
quantity; e.g., in a linear detector, the desired relation is between the
output signal voltage and the input modulation envelope.
