Simulation of RF circuits driven by modulated signals without bandwidth constraints

A new nonlinear analysis technique of RF circuits subject to modulated signals is discussed. As the envelope and carrier are uncorrelated, the circuit is modeled by a multi-rate partial differential equation. The carrier response is then simulated with harmonic-balance for each envelope time-step, without imposing any restrictions to signal bandwidth.
