Abstract :
An adaptive electromagnetic optimization procedure to facilitate field-theoretic design of hybrid and monolithic integrated circuits is presented. This approach provides full-wave characterization of complex MIC and MMIC geometries by including various effects such as coupling, spurious radiation, surface wave modes, and interactions with package modes. Application of this procedure utilizing commercially available electromagnetic simulators is presented to demonstrate its versatility.<>
