Bending Your System Into Shape - Hinging (1974)
By R. Dattner and J. Shekel, Jerrold Electronic Corp.
This paper discusses a new technique, called "hinging", for calculating system design levels to meet a specification while minimizing cost. The condition of a signal is treated as a normalized noise and distortion pair in a specialized coordinate space. This leads to a discussion of amplifier vectors, signal quality and system margin, which is related to tolerance. This approach is an expansion of some early work by D. Carson.
