Abstract

This work presents the use of Harmonic Balance to simulate the nonlinear behavior of HTS transmission lines. Good agreement with theoretical cross-checks is found. We also show the use of this algorithm to fit the model of HTS lines from experimental measurements. We illustrate this by fitting several types of experimental data, and discuss how to avoid ambiguity in this fitting
