Abstract :
We introduce a novel EM solver for the accurate analysis of complex problems in the areas of MMIC and optical integrated circuits. The basic idea is to construct a unique tool which involves two efficient 3D full-wave methods, GTRD (generalized transverse resonance diffraction) and TLMIE (transmission line matrix integral equation), acting in the frequency and time domains, respectively. This tool is integrated in EM3DS, an existing tool based on the GTRD method, and is equipped with a user-friendly graphic interface and pre/post-processing instruments. The accuracy of the solver is demonstrated by modeling complex structures like MEMS, RF-package and photonic band gap.
