A new method for time domain computation of the steady state in nonlinear circuits

A new method for solving the periodic steady state computation of circuits with nonlinear resistors and linear dynamic elements is presented. Any nonlinear resistor is replaced by equivalent sources controlled by its terminal voltages or currents. The convergence of this procedure is assured, unlike the cases of the harmonic balance and shooting methods. Its high convergence speed allows the fast computation of the steady state solutions. An example is given for illustration.
