In music the different forms of linear distortion have specific names describing them.

This is caused by the non linear distortion that happens in the ear.

It not only corrects for linear distortion, but also second degree and higher nonlinear components.

Linear distortion does not introduce new frequency components to a signal but does alter the balance of existing ones.

The image was then run through an optical printer where the edges were vignetted and a twisted linear distortion was introduced.

If F is a linear function, for instance a filter whose gain and/or delay varies with frequency, the signal suffers linear distortion.

In the early 1970s, intercity coaxial transmission systems, including L-carrier, used feed-forward amplifiers to diminish linear distortion.

Then, computer software is used to compute a FIR filter, which reverses the effects of the room and linear distortion in the loudspeakers.

A map distorts distances (linear distortion) wherever the quotient between the lengths of an infinitesimally short line as projected onto the projection surface, and as it originally is on the Earth model, deviates from unity.

It can also generate the complex signals needed to measure Return Loss (ERL, SRL Hi, SRL Lo), Non Linear Distortion (NLD), Envelope and Group Delay, etc.

Nonlinearities in the transfer function of an active device (such as vacuum tubes, transistors, and operational amplifiers) are a common source of non-linear distortion; in passive components (such as a coaxial cable or optical fiber), linear distortion can be caused by inhomogeneities, reflections, and so on in the propagation path.
