Abstract

In this method, the circuit is excited by a raised cosine pulse source that includes broadened frequency components. The frequency characteristics are then computed from the Fourier transform of the output transient responses. To evaluate the validity and capability of the method, a side-coupled microstrip filter is analyzed and the frequency characteristics are calculated. A quasistatic analysis of this filter is also presented and the results compared with measurements. The frequency characteristics calculated with the full-wave analysis in the time domain show excellent agreement with the measured values, thus demonstrating the validity and the power of the analytical method
