The use of Harmonic Balance in Wave Concept Iterative Method for Nonlinear Radio Frequency Circuit Simulation

Abstract

This paper presents the birth of the new hybrid method for the non-linear Radio frequency circuits' simulation. This method is based on the combination of the wave concept iterative procedure (WCIP) and the harmonic balance (HB) for their advantages. It consists also the development of an application based on this method for the simulation of nonlinear planar radio frequency circuits. The simulation of the Radio frequency diode implemented in micro-strip line is done. The validations are obtained by the comparison of the results obtained by our new hybrid method and Harmonic Balance under Advanced Design System (ADS) software.
