ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for a nonlinear filter having a nonlinear transfer function. The nonlinear filter comprises a plurality of linear filters each having a filter output, a plurality of nonlinear elements each connected to one of the plurality of linear filters, and a combination network connected to the plurality of nonlinear elements. The nonlinear elements are used to produce nonlinear effects and generate a plurality of nonlinear outputs, and the combination network combines the nonlinear outputs.
