Abstract :
The author reviews some of the main contributions of European research groups to the modeling of passive microwave and millimeter-wave components, including hybrid and monolithic ICs, as well as components realized in conventional technology. Attention is focused on the methodologies for modeling the various types of components. The quasi-static modeling of transmission lines, based on the solution of Laplace´s equation in two dimensions, is considered, and two-dimensional models for planar circuits are discussed. Also considered are numerical and semianalytical approaches in three-dimensional modeling.<>
