7 Time-Domain Method Time-Domain Method Impose periodicity constraint v(0) = v(t) V 0 T Time A popular method is the shooting method Requires dense matrix solutions Matrix-ree methods allow simulation o ~1000 node circuits V For a driven circuit period T is known For an oscillator T is an unknown Time Non-Linear Frequency Domain Analysis Harmonic Balance Balance the requency spectrum at each node Low distortion signals require ew Fourier series coeicients Smooth device models are essential or RF Time-derivatives (capacitors) become multiplication in requency domain Handle distributed elements in req. domain
8 Multi-Tone Frequency Domain Analysis Frequency Truncation Harmonic truncation keep a inite number o requencies containing signiicant energy One-tone spectrum Minimum number o time-domain samples dictated by the number o signiicant Fourier coeicients, not by the Nyquist rate Two-tone spectrum Oscillator Simulation with HB Problems Unknown period o oscillation Arbitrary time origin Solutions (K.
