Abstract :
A method is discussed for determining the parameters of a nonlinear device by measurement of the harmonics generated in the output when a sinusoidal wave is applied at the input. Formulas are developed, in terms of the measured quantities, for determining the coefficients of the power series describing the input-output characteristic and the coefficients of the Fourier series giving the harmonic conversion transconductance.
