Introduction

The motivation for starting the work described in this book was the interest that Hewlett-Packard's microwave circuit designers had in simulation techniques that could tackle the problem of finding steady state solutions for nonlinear circuits, particularly circuits containing distributed elements such as transmission lines. Examining the problem of computing steady-state solutions in this context has led to a collection of novel numerical algorithms which we have gathered, along with some background material, into this book. Although we wished to appeal to as broad an audience as possible, to treat the subject in depth required maintaining a narrow focus. Our compromise was to assume that the reader is familiar with basic numerical methods, such as might be found in [dahlquist74] or [vlach83], but not assume any specialized knowledge of methods for steady-state problems. Although we focus on algorithms for computing steady-state solutions of analog and microwave circuits, the methods herein are general in nature and may find use in other disciplines. A number of new algorithms are presented, the contributions primarily centering around new approaches to harmonic balance and mixed frequency-time methods. These methods are described, along with appropriate background material, in what we hope is a reasonably satisfying blend of theory, practice, and results. The theory is given so that the algorithms can be fully understood and their correctness established.

Ken Kundert created Cadence’s Spectre and Agilent’s harmonic balance simulator. He cofounded Designer’s Guide Consulting in 2005. From 1989 to 2005, he worked at Cadence Design Systems, where he created Spectre and was the principal architect of the Spectre circuit simulation family and led the development of Spectre, SpectreHDL, and SpectreRF. He also played a key role in the development of Cadence’s AMS Designer and made substantial contributions to both the Verilog-AMS and VHDL-AMS languages. While in school he authored Sparse and created Agilent’s harmonic balance simulator. He was also a circuit designer at Tektronix and Hewlett-Packard and contributed to the design of the HP8510 microwave network analyzer. He has written three books on circuit simulation, The Designer’s Guide to Verilog-AMS (2004), The Designer’s Guide to SPICE and Spectre (1995), and Steady-State Methods for Simulating Analog and Microwave Circuits (1990), created The Designer’s Guide Community Web site, and authored 11 patents and three dozen papers published in refereed conferences and journals. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1989, his M.S. degree in 1983, and his B.S. in 1979. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
