Abstract:
A new co-simulation method is proposed for active devices and electromagnetic resonant circuits at microwave frequency range. For the measured and extracted device parameters, three steps of equivalent circuit models are processed of the general, simplified, and EM RLC models. To overcome the limited lumped element simulation in an electromagnetic simulator, the simplified equivalent circuit model is established by mathematical computation. The co-simulation procedures are described and experimentally verified for commercial diodes. The application circuit is designed and implemented using the proposed co-simulation method. The experimental results verify that design using the proposed co-simulated method presented excellent agreement for a wideband frequency range of 0-4 GHz, compared with that using a conventional design method. The proposed co-simulation method can be applied to any commercial EM simulation tools without active model error.
