Abstract
In this paper, the extended FDTD is used for the analysis of microwave circuits including active elements. Lumped elements such as R, L, C which are inserted into a microstrip line are analyzed with the FDTD lumped element modeling. Parasitic capacitance and inductance could be obtained using network modeling and so it is sure that FDTD lumped element modeling makes it possible to get more accurate data which include parasite components. Moreover, a balanced mixer using two diodes that are modeled by an extended FDTD is designed and the more exact characteristic of the mixer is acquired than in current circuit simulator.
