Abstract :
A modified-Volterra-series (MVS) approach for improving the accuracy of the harmonic balance method in coupled device and circuit simulation is presented. This approach is compared with a previous quasi-static implementation for accuracy and performance. The new technique significantly improves accuracy over the quasi-static approach for high frequency, small amplitude signals.
