Rapid Finite-Element Parameter Space Sweep for Microwave Devices

A further exploitation of a matrix-valued transfer function describing electromagnetic behaviour is considered in this work. In addition to the inclusion of modal ports is the analysis domain, new computational domain ports are taken into account. What it is aimed for with this new port definition is to allow FEM analysis even though some boundary field distributions are not yet established, in other words, to be able to carry out the full-wave analysis in a given structure in spite of certain physical shapes and dimensions not yet being established; and afterwards, to make it possible to cause field discontinuities (continuities) with ease to consider conducting strips (slots) in the computational domain.
