AWE-Inspired

An overview of some of the continuing research on asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) techniques is presented. The efficient generation of moments and using moments to determine stable and accurate AWE approximations are discussed. Techniques to determine AWE macromodels and extend AWE to distributed elements are also discussed.
