Abstract :
This brief presents an efficient and accurate numerical method to determine the multiparameter sensitivity of amplifier harmonic distortion (HD). The method is developed into the frame of steady-state shooting method and allows a fast exploration of HD perturbation due to small fluctuations of parameters nominal value
