Lumped Nonlinear System Analysis with Volterra Series.

Abstract

This study investigates the application aspect of the Volterra series method to nonlinear system analysis, with special emphasis on nonlinear circuits. The contents are organized into five parts: (1) important aspects of Volterra series method; (2) characterization of multiple nonlinearity circuits (systems) using Volterra series; (3) response on nonlinear systems from Volterra series system characterization; (4) Computer-aided analysis of mildly nonlinear circuits using Volterra series; and (5) concrete examples from the application of Volterra series method to nonlinear circuit problems. Algorithms for adapting the Volterra series method for the computer-aided distortion and zero-state transient analysis of mildly nonlinear circuits are developed next. A symbolic approach is used which not only improves the computational efficiency but also provides a link to the earlier ideas on convergence, etc. An overview of the digital computer program PRANC, which uses the Volterra series method, is also given.
