Convergence problems in harmonic balance analysis are a classic. I
think every single human being involved in this stuff have struggled
with them in many occasions. You will find plenty of technical papers
talking about it. But most of them describe the issue in terms of
the mathematical algorithm that is used to build the harmonic balance
analysis in the CAD simulators. Not many of them help indeed to
understand what can be done once the simulation has failed to
converge.
Now, in a new entry in the section "Answering some Questions" it is available for downloading a brief studio regarding this problem, but focused in the case of QUCS Studio, using several examples of circuits and describing the problems that you will find when the convergence of the harmonic balance is an issue.
