Abstract :
A novel approach to the simulation of multiplexer responses, which also results in the simple and direct evaluation of first-order sensitivities with respect to all variables of interest including frequency, is presented. Fundamental concepts that correspond to a general cascaded structure are utilised in the analysis.
