TNPT-an efficient method to simulate forced nonlinear RF networks in time domain

A new method to simulate forced nonlinear RF networks in time domain is introduced. This method is a generalization of the well-known steady-state algorithm of Trick and Aprille (1972). The proposed method allows one to calculate all time solutions until steady-state is reached similar to transient simulation (TR). It compares with steady-state like TR simulation with DC, and can therefore be considered to be a transient simulation of nonlinear periodic transients (TNPT).
