The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a
coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain
shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have
been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the
efficiency and reliability of the time-domain analysis. Three different
implementation approaches of the harmonic balance method for coupled device and
circuit simulation are investigated and implemented. These include the quasi-static,
non-quasi-static, and modified-Volterra-series approaches. Comparisons of
simulation and performance results identify the strengths and weakness of these
approaches in terms of accuracy and efficiency. / Graduation date: 2005
