Abstract :
This paper describes how a novel distortion contribution analysis can be used efficiently for improving the linearity of a nonlinear circuit. The distortion analysis technique called Volterra-on-Harmonic-Balance calculates a distortion contributions in each tone and node for each nonlinear elements of the nonlinear devices in the circuit. As the analysis provides large amount of data, also the flow of interpreting the results contains many steps that are described in detail in this paper.
