Abstract
An integrated electromagnetic and circuit simulation environment is developed for the simulation of spatial power combining systems. The analysis incorporates surface modes, nonuniform excitation and full nonlinear effects. The simulation tools are used to predict the performance of a 2 by 2 quasi-optical grid amplifier.
