Method for generating a circuit model

摘要

The present invention includes a method for generating a model of a circuit having an input port and an output port. The method determines an amplitude for current leaving the output port at a frequency omega_k when a signal that includes a carrier at omega_j modulated by a signal V_j(t) is input to the input port, wherein omega_k is a harmonic of omega_j. The determined amplitude is used to determine values for a set of constants, a^k, such that a function f_k(V,a^k) provides an estimate of the current, I_k(t), leaving the output port at a frequency omega_k when a signal having the form $V\left(t\right)=\mathrm{Re}\sum _{k=1,H}{V}_k\left(t\right)\exp \left({\mathrm{jomega}}_{k}t\right)$ is input to the input port. Here V_k(t) is a component of a set of values V. The f_k(V,a^k) are used to provide a simulator component adapted for use in a circuit simulator.
