Parameter estimation in strongly nonlinear circuits

摘要

The combination of the generalized Volterra approach to computing the nonlinear steady-state output and a maximum likelihood estimator results in a powerful parameter estimation method for strongly nonlinear circuits. As a result, it is possible to determine parameters which cannot be measured or are difficult to measure. The proposed approach is illustrated by the example of an inverting amplifier built around an operational amplifier causing slew-induced distortion.
