The trend of microwave circuits has been toward highly integrated systems. Most design tools for designing microwave circuits mounted the linear or the nonlinear devices adopt the fundamental circuit theory using the S matrix on the frequency domain. The harmonic balance method is also used to correspond to the nonlinear circuit. Therefore, the effect of the electromagnetic field, for example, ...

The purpose of this brief is that, by an application of the method of characteristics, we analyze chaotic phenomena in Chua’s circuit with lossy transmission line. The transmission line is replaced by the equivalent lumped circuit and a time-delayed element so that it can be solved efficiently by the Runge-Kutta method. It is found from numerical experiments that the circuit has complicated and...

In order to introduce magnetic conductive thin plates in quasi-static PEEC method, a coupling with the integrodifferential method is proposed. This coupling enables to take the advantage of each method. The complex conductor geometry is achieved thanks to the PEEC method. The modeling of thin plates is taken into account thanks to an integro-differential one.

We show an efficient method for converting a logic circuit of gates with fan-out 1 into an equivalent circuit that works even if some fraction of its gates are short-circuited, i.e., their output is shortcircuited to one of their inputs. Our conversion can be applied to any circuit with fan-in k>= 2, yielding a resilient circuit whose size is polynomial in the size of the (non-resilient) input ...
