Abstract :
A program for computing steady-state behavior for a nonlinear circuit with periodic inputs is described. Conventional simulators (like SPICE) use time-domain integration methods until the steady-state response is obtained and then are often very time-consuming. Other simulators use `ad-hoc´ methods for steady-state analysis but are not so widely used as SPICE. A program is presented that uses SPICE as a computational machine but is also able to implement some of those more efficient methods
