Method of Moments based Electromagnetic Simulation

During the last few decades, the utilization of§multilayered printed geometries has increased§steadily, especially in the applications of§microstrip antennas and monolithic microwave§integrated circuits (MMIC). Parallel to this§increase, a significant amount of research effort has§also been put for the development of efficient§electromagnetic simulation tools for such geometries.§ Compared to the well-known techniques such as the§finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and§finite-element methods (FEM), method of moments (MoM)§based approaches have proved to be very efficient for§the rigorous analysis of layered printed circuits.§This book, therefore, analyzes the MoM based§electromagnetic simulation algorithm utilizing the§spatial domain Green s functions of the vector and§scalar potentials. The efficient inclusion of§multiple vertical conductors into the MoM formulation§is analyzed theoretically and via examples. The§analysis presented here should especially be helpful§to professionals in the field of Microwave§Engineering or anyone else who may consider adapting§MoM algorithms within different computational problems.
