Abstract

In this work, the polyharmonic distortion (PHD) model is used to analyze the behavior of high-speed nonlinear links. The model assumes the validity of the harmonic superposition principle for high-speed I/O links. From the PHD formalism, a frequency-domain X-parameter matrix formulation is derived. The formulation accommodates both port and harmonic dependence of the signals. Relationships are derived that permit to combined various nonlinear sub-blocks described by their X parameters. Simulations are performed and compared with other methods.
