  • Abstract
    This paper describes a frequency domain analysis technique developed to determine the transfer function of a nonlinear circuit from the harmonic outputs generated when the circuit is driven at specific frequencies by a single, large-signal sinusoid. The technique can be used to analyze power amplifiers and mixers for gain compression, intermodulation distortion, AM to PM conversion, etc. Examples are provided to illustrate the validity and accuracy of this technique.
