Extraction of network parameters in the electromagnetic analysis of planarstructures using the method of moments

Integration of electromagnetic (EM) and circuit analyses for the modeling o f spatially distributed microwave and millimeter-wave circuits requires the establishment of posts that are defined in both the circuit and EM realms. Four EM techniques are developed here and contrasted for the extraction of the port network parameters at circuit compatible ports. A full-wave metho d-of-moments EM analysis directly yielding network parameters of a slot-str ipline-slot structure is formulated.
