The package contains functions for analysis of continuous-time linear and nonlinear circuits as well as periodically switched linear circuits. The method of analysis is based on modified nodal voltages method. Results can be obtained in symbolic or semisymbolic form. This contribution introduces possibilities of the package for nonlinear circuit symbolic analyses. Simplification of active element models can be made by special package option to obtain useful results for dominant circuit behavior. This is demonstrated on elementary examples of nonlinear DC analysis and AC analysis of linearized circuit. The package was developed at the Department of Circuit Theory, for research and teaching support.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117037248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of the circuit complex model, reduction of the computing effort implies using a macromodel capable to capture the behaviors of the original circuit while preserving its essential properties. Building such a model is based on a simplified and unitary description of the circuit, by establishing a simple relationship between the input/output variables. In this paper, the model order reduction techniques based on the projection method in Krylov subspace are presented in two implementations: on the state equations and on the semi-sate equations of the analog circuits.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"57 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120883527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Centro-symmetry propriety of the introduced antennas shape, as well as each of its subarrays, allow us to develop a Modified Forward/Backward Spatial Smoothing technique (MFBSS) to remove signals' coherence. The excellent performances of the uniform circular geometry are used to provide a good and uniform DoAs estimation in all of the azimuth coverage. Simulation results, using the MUSIC algorithm, show that applying the MFBSS technique with the proposed antenna array shape yields significant improved performances in DoAs estimation especially in highly correlated sources situations.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"268 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132448932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
