Abstract :
Electromagnetics (EM) has today become a critical part of the microwave design cycle. This article briefly traces the entry of EM into microwave design and describes how today´s design cycle arose. Then, we discuss how recent developments (in particular, perfectly calibrated ports in EM analysis) open entire new areas of applied microwave design.
