This article presents a new nonlinear analysis method of the microwave circuits under multitone excitation. A frequency‐domain diode model and an adaptable spectral balance algorithm are first proposed and the full nonlinear analysis is performed entirely in the frequency domain for a microwave mixer driven by multitone signals. Some frequency‐conversion performances of mixer are investigated in detail.
