An overview is given on the application of finite difference time‐domain analysis techniques to the simulation of electromagnetic wave phenomena and the design of planar microwave integrated circuits. In particular the application to the analysis of three‐dimensional discontinuities in coplanar microwave circuits is described and numerical and experimental results are presented. Finally the design of planar microwave circuits containing non‐linear active components using the finite difference time‐domain method in combination with a harmonic balance technique is demonstrated using an example of a LUFET circuit.
