Abstract :
The letter presents an efficient technique for determination of voltage and Current waveforms when a microwave network containing one or more nonlinear elements is excited by a sinusoidal source. This algorithm is a generalisation of an approach previously reported by Gupta and Lomax and features a ready application to microwave networks represented by a large number of equivalent circuit elements, either lumped or distributed.
