Abstract. Radiating electromagnetic
crystal containing resistive – capacitive non-linear two port elements is
considered. The structure has a finite length along a coordinate axis and is
infinite along another axis and it is excited by a free space plane wave with
low amplitude that propagates at a signal frequency. Simultaneously the
electromagnetic crystal is excited by its eigen mode with high amplitude that
propagates at a heterodyne frequency. Two problems of linear and non-linear
analysis are solved. Harmonic balance method is applied for solution of a
non-linear problem. A system of non-linear equations relatively voltage
amplitudes of heterodyne frequency harmonics at all elements of the crystal is
obtained. The result of non-linear problem solution is presented in form of
time dependencies of differential conductivities and capacities of non-linear
elements. Linear analysis about excitation of the structure by a free space
plane wave is carried out for given differential parameters. The result of
linear analysis is loss of power transformation from signal frequency to
intermediate frequency.
