Abstract
RF simulators exploit the nature of RF circuits to overcome bottlenecks that prevent the use of general purpose simulators. While this makes RF simulation possible, it also leads to two significant problems. First, it is difficult to apply RF simulation to larger circuits that are not exclusively RF. Second, it leads to a large number of very specialized analyses, and it is difficult for designers to effectively learn and use the ones they need. Solutions to these two problems are explored in this paper.
