Abstract

Bivariate generalized power series analysis is introduced for the analysis and behavioral modeling of nonlinear analog circuits and systems. It can be used to model analog subsystems and is compatible with circuit simulation, thereby allowing full circuits and behaviorally modeled analog subcircuits to be simulated together in an analog circuit/system simulator. The entire analysis is performed in the frequency domain, and arbitrary nonlinear circuits and any number of noncommensurable input frequencies can be accommodated. A diode ring demodulator is analyzed as an example
