1. A method for active circuit antenna optimization, comprising:
recording a capacitance value at each frequency of a frequency range using one or more tuning capacitors, thereby generating a capacitor value frequency range;
creating one or more non-linear circuit designs in an RF circuit simulator, wherein the one or more non-linear circuit designs match the capacitance value at each frequency of the frequency range recorded from the one or more tuning capacitors; and
creating one or more non-linear circuits from the non-linear circuit design, wherein each tuning capacitor has a corresponding non-linear circuit where all of the one or more non-linear circuit responses match the capacitor value frequency range of the one or more tuning capacitors.
