Abstract :
The authors present details of the generalized power series technique for the analysis of analog nonlinear circuits. The method uses generalized power series descriptions of the nonlinear elements and a spectral balance techniques to operate entirely in the frequency domain. It is therefore suited to the analysis of analog nonlinear circuits with large-signal multifrequency excitation of arbitrary frequency separation. The analysis of a low-frequency mixer is used here as a vehicle to illustrate the concepts of large-signal frequency-domain analysis and the generalized power series analysis technique
