Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to apply the harmonic balance (HB) method to a balanced microwave power amplifier. Also it shows a slight modification in the HB method, which can be applied on many practical microwave circuits. The analysis is accurate, and the modification results in less execution time. The results are compared with a commercial HB simulator
