Abstract :
This paper presents an innovative technique to the efficient nonlinear response computation of microwave circuits driven by multitone inputs. Using special properties of uniformly discretized spectra, it was possible to overcome the major disadvantages of conventional frequency-domain techniques: large computation time, limited accuracy or special nonlinear device model format.
