Abstract

A numerically efficient technique for the analysis and design of MMIC circuits is introduced and applied to some realistic problems. The formulation is based on the method of moments (MoM) in the spatial domain, and utilizes closed-form Green's functions. Incorporating the closed-form Green's functions into the MoM has resulted in an efficient and accurate CAD algorithm. This is because use of the closed-form Green's functions not only eliminates the calculation of the spatial-domain Green's functions, but also makes it possible to evaluate the MoM matrix elements analytically We have demonstrated the application of this method here for some stripline and microstrip geometries, and compared the results with those obtained from commercial EM software, em (Sonnet Software, Inc.)
