Abstract :
The implementation of an efficient full wave enabled SPICE simulator is presented. The generalized characteristic model has been integrated into FDTD-SPICE simulator so that full wave analysis with lumped terminal devices is much faster. Example with coupled microstrip lines terminated with diodes showed that it is 75% faster than FDTD-SPICE analysis.
