The distortion-to-signal power ratio at the output of a memoryless nonlinearity is determined by simple calculations. This is done by application of Bussgang's theorem, which may also be obtained as a special case of Price's theorem. Specific results are given for hard and soft instantaneous and envelope limiters.
