Brinson, Mike and Jahn, Stefan (2009) Modelling of high-frequency inductance with Qucs non-linear radio frequency equation defined devices. International Journal of Electronics, 96 (3). pp. 307-321. ISSN 0020-7217
This article introduces a non-linear algebraic radio frequency equation defined device (RFEDD) formed from two-port and multi-port networks. The properties of the new device are described and its use in modelling high-frequency coil impedance, Q factor, phase and noise is demonstrated. A later section of the article shows how non-linear RFEDDs can be merged with Verilog-A compact macromodels to overcome some of the current AC domain limitations in the Verilog-A hardware description language. The non-linear RFEDD has been implemented in the ‘Quite universal circuit simulator’.
