Anew software tool, Maxwell® Strata, has been introduced to solve the next generation of dense planar circuits, including microwave and millimeter-wave monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) and planar antennas. The new tool, based on a method of moments (MoM) solution of the mixed potential integral equation, is able to solve for the S-, Yand Z-parameters of true three-dimensional tra...

The objective of this two-volume book is the systematic and comprehensive description of the most competitive time-domain computational methods for the efficient modeling and accurate solution of modern real-world EMC problems. Intended to be self-contained, it performs a detailed presentation of all well-known algorithms, elucidating on their merits or weaknesses, and accompanies the theoretic...

Abstract To keep up with the demands for smaller antennas increased performance and decreased costs, most next generation architectures mandate higher IC (integrated circuit) chip integration. Compared to conventional packaging configurations, advanced technologies, such as 2.5D 3D, offer greater compatibility lower power consumption. Given these advantages, adoption of is inevitable. Within pa...

A microstructure beam is one of the fundamental elements in MEMS devices like cantilever sensors, RF/optical switches, varactors, resonators, etc. It is still difficult to precisely predict the performance of MEMS beams with the current available simulators due to the inevitable process deviations. Feasible numerical methods are required and can be used to improve the yield and profits of the M...

This work presents a novel sensor packaging and transition concept for radar applications above 150 GHz based on glass material. By using laser induced deep etching (LIDE) technology, vias cavities are fabricated without degrading the mechanical stability of glass, as micro-cracks completely avoided. Especially at high millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequencies, precise structuring low dielectric lo...

The Y. T. Lee Array for Microwave Background (AMiBA) has reported the first science results on the detection of galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect. The science objectives required small reflectors in order to sample large scale structures (20’) while interferometry provided modest resolutions (2’). With these constraints, we designed for the best sensitivity by utilizing the maxi...
