Abstract

The authors present two methods that are capable of computing the steady-state response of a circuit directly: harmonic balance, which is a frequency-domain method, and the finite-difference method, which is based in the time domain. Both of these methods are suitable for use on nonlinear circuits that contain distributed devices and that exhibit either periodic or quasiperiodic steady-state solutions
