Abstract

Invited Paper An overview of the high frequency circuit modelling using concurrent processing techniques V.F. Fusco Microwave Research Group, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast, BT9 5AH, UK ABSTRACT In modern high frequency electronic design there is often a requirement for interactive CAE tools. The result of the ever increasing demands placed on these tools is that the cpu time required for circuit analysis is often prohibitively long. This paper presents a review of some of the methodologies involving parallel computing techniques that are employed for the solution of CPU intensive high frequency electromagnetic field and circuit problems. The limitations and advantages of these techniques are discussed. INTRODUCTION In modern high frequency electronic circuit design problems there is often a requirement for interactive CAE tools. This is increasingly important as circuit functional
