Implementation of the local reference node concept for spatially distributed circuits

Large spatially distributed microwave and millimeter-wave systems involve the interaction of linear and nonlinear circuits with their electromagnetic environment. A circuit-level approach to the modeling of circuit-field interactions is developed. The approach enables conventional circuit simulators to be extended to incorporate spatially distributed circuits.
