Practical examples are given to illustrate significant improvements in accuracy. For circuits containing weakly nonlinear devices, it is demonstrated that this method is typically at least one order of magnitude faster than SPICE.EnglishApplication of asymptotic waveform evaluation for time-domain analysis of nonlinear circuitsArticle10.1080/002072197135436
