Abstract :
The simulation of a microwave link is tackled by a rigorous circuit-level nonlinear analysis approach coupled with the electromagnetic (EM) characterization of the transmitting and receiving antennas. The connection between transmitter and receiver is established by a full EM computation of the radiated far field under modulated input drive.
