Hi Darshan Time Domain analysis is reality. The frequency domain was invented to describe certain effects that were not easily dealt with in the time domain. It is a shorthand. However, since frequency dependent loss and group delay are only possible in the frequency domain, and complex semiconductor simulation is only possible in the time domain, you need both types of simulation. So, how do you bring the two types of simulation together? Frequency domain elements like transmission lines should be represented in the time domain simulation by a convolution of the impulse response from the frequency domain. It is possible to do this with some constructs from MathCad. However, this is very involved and requires a lot of work. SOLUTION: ADS from Agilent. It does all the work. It has a nice Graphical input with Drag and drop schematic elements, transmission lines are described by their physical characteristics, no estimates of inductance or capacitance is necessary and they are simulated in the frequency domain. The mixture of frequency domain models and time domain models is done in the background and you are home free. The best of accuracy world together with the best of the display world and the best of the easy input world. $20K/year.
