The relationship between bivariate volterra analysis and power series analysis with application to the behavioral modeling of microwave circuits

Volterra nonlinear transfer functions can be used in the behavioral modeling of many nonlinear microwave circuits. They can be developed experimentally, numerically, and, to a limited extent, analytically. This article presents an enhanced analytic method for developing bivariate Volterra nonlinear transfer functions based on their relationship to power series. The technique is applied to the Volterra‐series‐based behavioral modeling of a MESFET amplifier using experimental characterization of the MESFET.
