Abstract :
Computer simulation of general microwave nonlinear circuits excited by a large number of input tones is addressed. The algorithm based on the spectral balance method, uses a new index vector technique which allowed the prediction of complex behavior such as spectral regrowth and noise power ratio performance of a class B power amplifier.
