NAME
     cascade - Noise and distortion analysis for cascaded systems.

SYNOPSIS
     cascade [GNU style options]

     cascade file

DESCRIPTION
     The cascade program analyzes the noise and distortion performance of a cas-
     caded  system.   The functional blocks in the system are each characterized
     by a gain and optionally noise figure and third order intercept point.   In
     addition  a  source  with	a particular signal level and noise level may be
     specified.  Cascade then calculates the system noise figure and input third
     order intercept at each stage.  If the source  was  specified,  the  signal
     level,  carrier  to  noise  ratio, and distortion level is reported at each
     stage in the system.

     Cascade accepts the following options.

     --copyright    Displays copyright information.

     --help	    Displays help information.

     --version	    Displays current version of the program.
