##Abstract of Article
Hardware impairments in physical transceivers are known to have a deleterious effect on communication systems; however, very few contributions have investigated their impact on relaying. This paper quantifies the impact of transceiver impairments in a two-way amplify-and-forward configuration. More specifically, the effective signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratios at both transmitter nodes are obtained. These are used to deduce exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for the outage probabilities (OPs), as well as tractable formulations for the symbol error rates (SERs). It is explicitly shown that non-zero lower bounds on the OP and SER exist in the highpower regime—this stands in contrast to the special case of ideal hardware, where the OP and SER go asymptotically to zero.
##Content of Code Package
The article contains 2 simulation figures, numbered from 2 to 3. These are generated by the Matlab scripts simulationFigure2.m and simulationFigure3.m. The package contains one additional script, functionSERintegrand.m, which is called by the other scripts.
