Computer assisted analysis of microwave networks in the frequency domain /ESAMEC/
Abstract
Two general methods are presented for microwave network analysis to be integrated into computer-aided design software known as ESAMEC (ESA Microwave Electronic Circuits). They are the wiring operator method, based on the equivalent representation of transfer matrices, and the nodal analysis method using an infinite admittance matrix. ESAMEC is applied to the failure-mode analysis of a variable phase shift network, using PIN diodes, to be flown aboard Meteosat.
