Microwave circuit analysis and design by a massively distributed computing network

The advances in microelectronic engineering have rendered massively distributed computing networks practical and affordable. This paper describes one application of this distributed computing paradigm to the analysis and design of microwave circuits. A distributed computing network, constructed in the form of a neural network, is developed to automate the operations typically performed on a normalized Smith chart. Examples showing the use of this computing network for impedance matching and stabilizing are provided.<
