Abstract :
In this paper we will present a new implementation of the spectral balance, SB, simulation concept(1), more appropriate to the nonlinear analysis of microwave systems excited by real signal spectra. Proposed novel mixed frequency vector and convolution matrix generation techniques enabled strong nonlinear regime simulation of an amplifier driven by a large number of tones.
