The effects of multipath distortion are dramatically illustrated when one listens to or watches colour TV as an airplane passes between the transmitter and the receiver. Here either noise or distortion is heard from the FM receiver and the colours wash out on the TV set. A similar effect, called linear distortion is observed on wire communications systems.  3, record 4, English, - linear%20distortion

An apparent target in a radar which does not correspond in position or frequency or both, to any real target, but which results from distortion or misinterpretation by the radar circuitry of other real target signals which are present. For example, it may result from range-Doppler ambiguities in the radar waveform used, from intermodulation distortion due to circuit amplitude nonlinearities, or from combining data from two antenna systems or waveforms.  1, record 6, English, - ghost%20target

The [DFM] meter indicates the distortion factor, which is the ratio of the rms total distortion to the amplitude of the fundamental frequency, including harmonics.  2, record 9, English, - distortion%20factor

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 OBS

A common measurement is total harmonic distortion (thd) where the fundamental of a very low distortion sine-wave test signal is removed by a steep notch filter. The summed harmonics that remain are then measured as a voltage of the fundamental at the required test power of the amplifier. (When measured in this manner the term thd is not really correct since the distortion also has the amplifier noise added to it within the test passband. The correct term is distortion factor). (GRAEL, 1977, p. 326).  3, record 9, English, - distortion%20factor
