  • Abstract
    This paper describes two new artificial frequency mapping techniques suitable for the simulation of RF/microwave mixers when excited by a multi-tone signal. Due to the gained computational efficiency, it is for the first time possible to simultaneously analyze small and large signal behavior of nonlinear mixers subject to real multi-tone signals. Besides the theoretical study, illustrative simulation results are also given.
