Abstract
In the 1960s and 1970s the design of microwave networks containing nonlinear elements often consisted of trial and error routines. The required circuit performance was then achieved iteratively. With the knowledge of the physical property of the materials at microwave frequencies and its influence on active devices used in microwave networks, it is possible to reduce the time required to analyze new nonlinear circuits for microwave purposes. Advanced tools are necessary, which can analyze the network very quickly for a short development time. The basic requirements are a fast and accurate nonlinear measurement system and descriptions that match the real counterpart. This article shows the development of the nonlinear microwave network design for the last decade as a reflection of the workshop entitled Integrated Nonlinear Microwave and Millimeterwave Circuits. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
