Abstract

A general-purpose program is introduced for intermodulation distortion analysis in microwave mixers. The program can perform full nonlinear simulations of arbitrarily defined circuits simultaneously excited by three independent sinusoidal sources. The analysis relies on a three-dimensional sampling of the signal waveforms coupled with a triple Fourier transform.<>
