Abstract: | In order to provide a means of rigorous simulation for wideband nonlinear microwave integrated circuits, the concept of a lumped device model is introduced into a three-dimensional, time-domain electromagnetic field analysis method. This makes it possible to perform both a circuit simulation including nonlinear lumped devices and an electromagnetic field analysis for distributed microwave components at the same time. As an example, the generation of picosecond pulses from a nonlinear transmission line circuit is simulated. Based on the results, the features and the validity of the method are discussed in comparison with conventional circuit simulations |
