| Abstract: | A plane-wave-time-domain accelerated time-domain integral-equation solver is coupled to a SPICE-like transient circuit simulator to analyze electromagnetic platform-circuit interactions. The hybrid field-circuit simulator simultaneously solves surface-wire-volume time-domain integral equations that model electromagnetic interactions with the platform and modified nodal analysis equations that govern the behavior of the potentially nonlinear lumped circuits. A shielded nonlinear microwave amplifier is analyzed using the proposed scheme, and its immunity to electromagnetic interference is assessed. |
