A fast convolution-based computational approach is employed to integrate nu
merical solid-state device simulation with nonlinear millimeter-wave circui
t simulation. Unlike pre,previous combined harmonic-balance/deviee approach
es, the high-frequency circuit/physical device response is allowed to evolv
e in time to its natural steady-state mode of operation, permitting insight
into harmonic and parametric energy exchange, stability, load pulling, and
frequency tuning effects. To demonstrate this computationally efficient ap
proach, a secund-harmonic 150-GHz transferred electron oscillator is simula
ted using both conventional Gunn and novel stable-depletion-layer InP devic
es. The integrated det;device/circuit simulations in the time domain enable
us to investigate the formation and buildup of the oscillation modes in de
tail.
