Microwave Circuit Modeling Using Electromagnetic Field Simulation

Аннотация

This book is about modeling microwave circuits using commercial electromagnetic field-solvers. But before we can model a circuit we have to understand how the tools work. All the field-solvers we will discuss are based on well-established numerical methods for solving Maxwell’s equations. We have tried to gather just enough background material on the major numerical methods to help the reader appreciate what is going on behind the interface. We will spend a lot of effort outlining the strengths and weaknesses of each numerical method in a fair and balanced way. This knowledge helps us choose the right software tool for a specific task and set up the problem more intelligently.
