  • Patent number: 5663890
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for determing a frequency response of a nonlinear microelectronic circuit includes simulating the behavior of the circuit over a broad frequency range by producing a plurality of periodic component signals, having respective noninterfering frequencies within the frequency range, as an input signal to the nonlinear microelectronic circuit. A time domain simulation of the behavior of the microelectronic circuit is then produced and followed by production of a frequency domain simulation from the time domain simulation once a steady-state condition has been reached. Only a single time domain simulation is required and it can be generated simultaneously for all frequencies in the desired range without the occurrence of second-order harmonic interferences.
