摘要
Two methods used for performance assessment of communication systems, the saddlepoint approximation and modified Chernoff bound, are compared and their close mathematical relationship is highlighted. For the particular, and practically important case of optical communication where the approximation is known to be extremely precise an analytical expression for the bound tightness is derived. © 1990, IEEE.
