The circuit averaging technique has long been used as the basis for modeling the behavioral effects of switched-mode pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) dc-dc power converter circuits due to its simplicity and efficiency in simulation. ...

Linearity is one of the main design requirements for RF circuits, and one of the main figures of merit used to measure linearity is the third-order intercept point (IP3). However, obtaining the IP3 using traditional harmonic ...

The X-parameters of a nonlinear structure or circuit block relate the different harmonics of the incident power waves to the reflected ones in the frequency domain. Recently, a moments based approach for the computation ...

In this paper a moments based approach for computing the value of the third order intercept point and its sensitivity is presented. This approach eliminates the need to solve the Harmonic Balance equations and reduces the ...

As the complexity of radio frequency circuits increases, the generation of macromodels for circuit blocks that can be used in system simulations has become increasingly useful and even necessary. Recently X-parameters1 ...
