Summary
In this paper we review some techniques for evaluating the performance of digital communication systems operating on channels characterized by additive Gaussian noise as well as linear and nonlinear distortions. The parameters considered are the error probability, the minimum distance (useful when a maximum-likelihood sequence receiver is used), the cutoff rate (useful when coding has to be used on the channel), and the spectral occupancy (useful when two or more users share the same frequency band). The emphasis is placed on the computational algorithms that allow these parameters to be evaluated numerically.
