Analysis and design of harmonic generators

Harmonic generators such as used in radio transmitters are usually designed and adjusted on the basis of experience. This is because the only analysis of their performance that has been available is a laborious point-by-point method of attack which is much too cumbersome to be practical in the general run of problems- In the work described here a method of analyzing the harmonic generator is presented that involves a minimum of labor and at the same time has an accuracy entirely adequate for design purposes.
