Use of Phasors in Nonlinear Analysis
Abstract
In this paper, the well-known method of phasor analysis of linear ac circuits is extended in a rigorous mathematical way to nonlinear analysis. This fills the lack of such a theory in the literature. The results derived enable carrying out the needed corrections of some results published recently that regard harmonic distortion analysis of weakly nonlinear circuits.
