This is the case with time-domain simulators and transform-based schemes such as Harmonic balance as the waveform must be single valued, thus enforcing correlation. Previous efforts in frequency-domain simulators using the arithmetic operator method (AOM) also produced results in good agreement with measurements for correlated-phase input signals. Here, the AOM is applied to directly determine the spectral response of nonlinear systems to excitation by multiple uncorrelated tones in a single simulation. Verification is provided using measurements of a nonlinear amplifier excited by 15 independent tones and comparison to the average of the ensemble of results from multiple correlated-phase simulations.}, number={10}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES}, author={Hart, Frank P. and Steer, Michael B.}, year={2007}, month={Oct}, pages={2147–2156} } @article{hart_luniya_nath_victor_walker_steer_2007, title={Modelling high-order filters in a transient microwave circuit simulator}, volume={1}, ISSN={["1751-8733"]}, DOI={10.1049/iet-map:20060231}, abstractNote={Transient simulation of narrowband bandpass filters used in microwave circuits is challenging because of matrix ill-conditioning.

By extension, any analytic functional operation on the signals can be performed in the frequency domain using matrix‐vector operations. The mathematical foundation of AOM is presented as a numerically efficient convolution‐like procedure in this article. It is directly applicable to the behavioral modeling of nonlinear RF and microwave circuits and systems. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
