Overview of research activities on the simulation of High frequency devices, circuits and systems using the Scilab/Scicos Environment

Interactions between devices and circuits on one hand and circuits and systems on the other hand are key points of the design of high frequency communications or Radar systems. In order to accurately predict those interactions there is a need for high level tools that are able to cope with different kind of formalisms and equations. Up to now only specialized tools are available for the simulation of devices, circuits and systems individually. A major drawback of these tools is their inability to communicate together. So we begin the integration of a number of tools in the high level Scilab/Scicos in order to develop an integrated and open research tool which will allow to make the various softwares to communicate together.
