Abstract :
An efficient algorithm for harmonic balance based coupled device and circuit simulation is described. This algorithm has been implemented in a simulator CODECS-HB for accurate simulation of RF circuits in the frequency domain. The simulator supports accurate numerical models for diodes, BJTs, and MOSFETs. The algorithm also facilitates including application specific device simulators within the harmonic balance coupled circuit/device analysis framework.
