Introduction
Ways to solve microwave circuit
Full-wave analysis:
Solve the electric and magnetic field everywhere inside the defined region. Time-consuming but render excellent accuracy. Method of Moment (MoM): IE3D, Ensemble.. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD): XFDTD. Finite Element Method (FEM): HFSS
Circuit analysis:
Bridge the gap between the well-developed circuit theory and microwave circuit analysis. Agilent Advance Design System (ADS) AWR Microwave Office (MWO) Ansoft Designer
Introduction
What’s wrong with full-wave analysis?
Gives too much information. Usually only the voltage or current at a set of terminals, the power flow through a device, or some other type of "global" quantity will be of interest. Circuit or network anal……
