APLAC, a program for circuit, system, and electromagnetic FDTD simulation and design, was originally developed at the Helsinki University of Technology and nowadays is a product of AWR-APLAC Corporation. The main analysis modes are DC, AC, linear and nonlinear noise, transient, oscillator, multitone harmonic steady state, switched-capacitor, small-signal mixer, steady state transient, and model-order reduction. All analysis modes include thermal feedback. APLAC can also be used for measurements with IEEE-488 apparatus. APLAC's transient analysis uses convolution for correct treatment of components with frequency-dependent characteristics. Monte Carlo analysis is available in all basic analysis modes, as is sensitivity analysis in DC and AC modes. N-port Z, Y, and S parameters, as well as two-port H and noise parameters, can be used in AC analysis. APLAC also includes a versatile collection of system level blocks for the simulation and design of analog and digital communication systems as well as an electromagnetic FDTD simulator for solving 3D field problems independently or as a part of a circuit design. APLAC also contains advanced MEMS-library and an artificial neural network model generator.   less
