Time domain sensitivity of linear circuits using sampled data simulation

This paper presents a new method for computation of time-domain sensitivity of linear networks. It is based on sampled data simulation (SDSIM) of linear circuits presented by Opal (1996). The method is accurate because no approximation is made, and efficient because some parts of the computations are performed only once, in a preprocessing step before simulation starts. Both sensitivity network and adjoint network approaches are discussed.
