This paper uses hand analysis and a new fully numerical distortion contribution analysis technique to explain and optimize the nonlinear performance of analog circuits. Several example circuits are studied, where mixing of nonlinear distortion from one harmonic band to another is important. In some circuits the band-to-band mixing can be employed to reduce the overall distortion.
