A linear distortion is defined as a change in amplitude or phase with no new frequencies added. A non-linear distortion occurs when new frequency components are generated.

What is meant by non-linear distortion?
Nonlinear distortion is a term used (in fields such as electronics, audio and telecommunications) to describe the phenomenon of a non-linear relationship between the "input" and "output" signals of - for example - an electronic device.
What are the two types of distortion?
Two common types of distortion. In barrel distortion (left), magnification decreases with distance from the centre of the image; in pincushion distortion (right), magnification increases with distance.
What are the two kinds of nonlinear distortion?
1: Nonlinear effects introduced by RF hardware: (a) amplitude-dependent amplitude (AM-AM) distortion; and (b) amplitude-dependent phase (AM-PM) distortion.
What are the different types of distortions in linear systems?
Consequently the distortions of linear systems are divided into two categories: amplitude and phase distortions.
