Application of Quasi-static Method of Moments for the Design of Microwave Integrated Circuits and AntennasAbstract
With the recent advancements in computer-aided design (CAD) technology, circuit simulators are being capable of simulating complex designs in a reasonably short time. To reduce the design cycle and development costs, design simulation is becoming a necessity for today’s microwave and millimeter wave (mmW) integrated circuit (IC) designs. Besides operating at microwave and mmW frequencies, those designs are fairly complex. Accurate prediction of circuit performance before fabrication becomes a must for shortening design cycles and for lowering engineering cost.
