Abstract :
This paper describes a circuit model for the approximate determination of the coupling between MMICs in a multichip module. The model is developed from basic electromagnetics and relies on averages of the currents on the various MMICs. The technique is suitable for use in layout based circuit simulators and uses no numerical electromagnetics.
