  • Abstract
    A method for solving the full equations of Maxwell for circuits with discrete nonlinear, nonideal elements is presented. To this end, the method of moments is used in combination with a classical circuit simulator. Both operate in the frequency domain. A few methods to greatly accelerate the calculations are also presented. The methods are implemented and tested in Matlab.
