Abstract :
By studying solutions to the S-MUSE model an approximate 1-D nonlinear multifrequency TWT model, we have identified physical mechanisms for cases of harmonic injection. We highlight the structure of the solutions to S-MUSE, and comment on the mechanism whereby intermodulation products are generated. Then we use the structure of the solutions to identify the mechanism for harmonic injection in a 3IM example and in ECM application.
