Prediction of harmonic and intermodulation performance of frequency dependent nonlinear circuits and systems

In this thesis a new simple mathematical model has been presented for the prediction of harmonic and intermodulation performance of nonlinear circuits and systems. The model is capable of predicting the amplitudes of harmonics and intermodulation products generated by excitation of a nonlinear system by a multi-tone imput. Some simple measurements and curve-fitting routines are required to determine the model parameters. The model has been validated for sample frequency-selective networks by experimental methods.
