Abstract
In little more than 10 years computer-aided design (CAD) of microwave circuits has moved from dumb terminals on mainframe computers to PCs, and now to powerful RISC workstations. Commercial CAD software now integrates the various stages of microwave circuit design: schematic capture, simulation and layout. This paper reviews the different CAD packages that are available for microwave circuit design. The basic principles employed in the modelling of microstrip circuits are introduced and the reasons for the extensive use of frequency-domain simulations are explored. The developments in nonlinear, electromagnetic and system-level simulation methods are described.
