Fast Method to Include Parasitic Coupling in Circuit Simulations

S-parameter based circuit simulators are used a lot for the design of microwave circuits. The accuracy of these simulators is limited by the fact that they do not take the electromagnetic coupling between the components and transmission lines that compose a circuit into account. In this article we present a technique that enables us to take this coupling into account without increasing the calculation time too much.
