Abstract :
In this letter, we present an efficient and simple reduced nonlinear lumped network (RNL2N)-FDTD method for the global modeling of RF and microwave circuits. This method is a simplified version of the original nonlinear lumped network (NL2N)-FDTD approach, which does not require a complicated precalculation and a huge back-storage compared to the former version.
