SESSION 33
  Advanced Simulation Techniques
  Chair: L. Miguel Silveira - INESC/IST, U. Lisbon, Lisboa, PRT
  Organizers: Georges G Gielen, Kartikeya Mayaram

  This session presents progress in simulation techniques for analog systems. First, techniques are presented for simulating optical systems and then for fractional-N frequency synthesizers. Next we feature two papers on RF simulation : one to include frequency-domain models in time-domain simulation, one demonstrating purely time-domain techniques for close-spaced carriers. The final paper presents a novel approach to noise analysis for nonlinear circuits in the frequency domain.
