The state and output equations of the overall networks are derived from the state and output equations of individual multiports and knowledge of the interconnections between them. A generalized lumped‐distributed L/D multiport is described by its associated state, output and non‐linear equations in the time domain. Any network can be considered as composed of a set of multiports and independent sources. These equations have been incorporated into a computer‐aided procedure for the analysis of L/D networks. The procedure can be used for the simulation of any non‐linear microwave circuit and offers the facility of developing a multiport equivalent circuit for any linear or non‐linear device or subcircuit. Several examples are successfully analysed using the developed general program.
