✦ Synopsis
A new ¨oltage source formulation for FDTD is reported in this article. By stimulating the ¨oltage source right in the plane of the strip line, this new source formulation can be used in the simulation of a wide ¨ariety of high-frequency integrated circuits, including those without ground planes. Compared with existing source formulations, the new source formulation is also relati¨ely simple for most circuit simulations, because, since its relation to the actual source ¨oltage is fairly straightforward. In addition to numerical calculations to show the ¨alida- tion, we present in this article the applications of this method in ad¨anced high-frequency integrated circuits such as quasioptical diode array and coplanar wa¨eguide nonlinear transmission lines.
