Summary

A full-wave solver couples frequency-shifted fields while preserving dispersive behavior at each harmonic.

The harmonic-balance framework represents modulated bulk media and conductive sheets as induced sources, targeting realistic frequency conversion, nonreciprocity and gain calculations. It is a computational formulation, not a device demonstration.

Why it matters

A full-wave solver couples frequency-shifted fields while preserving dispersive behavior at each harmonic.

Limits and context

  • It is a computational formulation, not a device demonstration.

Key claims

  1. A full-wave solver couples frequency-shifted fields while preserving dispersive behavior at each harmonic.
