Application Note
AWR Corp., in collaboration with its customer Jose Luis Flores, has added two new application notes to its technical papers library. These application notes introduce a technique known as auxiliary generator (AG) for nonlinear circuit analysis. AG is useful for broadening the set of solutions that can be reproduced from a harmonic-balance analysis and can help study their stability properties in order to optimize a nonlinear circuit for a desired response.
