Abstract
This chapter presents a new approach based on the use of describing functions to obtain approximate symbolic expressions for the fundamental frequency component as well as for the second- and third-order harmonics. A single soft or hard transconductance nonlinearity embedded in an arbitrary linear network is studied. Three examples are considered.
