Separation of high and low frequency behavior in non-linear circuit simulation, excited with modulated signals

• Exciting nonlinear circuits with modulated signals will generate crossmodulation frequencies. In ordinary simulation techniques this makes time stepping methods a necessity, In the case of EMC-testing where the carrier frequency is as high as 2 GHz and the modulating frequency only 1 kHz, the simulation time will be extremely long. This paper presents Time Domain Frequency Separation (TDFS), a method,where the high and low frequency behavior is calculated separately to decrease the computation time. In a simulation made with Saber the calculation took approximately fourteen hours, and with TDFS in Matlab two minutes.
