Time-Domain Computation Of Electromagnetic Fields In MMICs

Maxwell's equations solved on three-dimensional, conformed orthogonal grids by finite-difference techniques. Method of computing frequency-dependent electrical parameters of monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) involves time-domain computation of propagation of electromagnetic field in response to excitation by single pulse at input terminal, followed by computation of Fourier transforms to obtain frequency-domain response from time-domain response. Parameters computed include electric and magnetic fields, voltages, currents, impedances, scattering parameters, and effective dielectric constants. Powerful and efficient means for analyzing performance of even complicated MMIC.

Full-Wave Analysis Of MMICs Using A Generalized Yee Algorithm

Improved method of temporal analysis of propagation of electro-magnetic waves in monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) implemented by generalized version of traditional Yee algorithm. Provides more accurate mathematical modeling for analysis and design of MMICs. Based on unstructured and otherwise irregular grids. Grids readily fitted to conductive and dielectric circuit elements having realistically complex three-dimensional shapes. Better for modeling important and geometrically complex phenomena like fringing fields.
