Abstract :
Advances in communication hardware urges a need for simulation tools, which can deal with large mixed signal circuits. For the first time, a transient circuit analysis using state variables, with high dynamic range is presented. The dynamic range of the analysis is experimentally verified by a two tone time domain simulation on a X-band MMIC.
