This comprehensive new book helps fortify your understanding of the most popular
time- and frequency-domain techniques used to analyze nonlinear microwave circuits
-- and shows you how to get better performance from these techniques using circuit-analysis
software.
This is the only book to detail the use of semi-analytic and numerical physical
models in nonlinear circuit analysis, and to discuss the two uses of physical
models in nonlinear CAD. Armed with the information presented, you can attain
a more reliable yield analysis of nonlinear MMICs and also:
- Utilize robust algorithms that help you analyze highly nonlinear circuits
while maintaining good convergence properties
- Make better use of commercial nonlinear circuit simulators and develop
your own custom-made simulators from scratch
- Employ step-by-step methods to integrate circuit equations and improve
the convergence of harmonic-balance
Supported by 330 equations, practical examples, and ready-made samples of computer
code written in C, this book is an invaluable reference for microwave engineers,
researchers, developers, and graduate students.
