Abstract

A class of two-dimensional and three-dimensional monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) structures is analyzed theoretically using an efficient iterative technique. The transfer-matrix approach to constructing the spectral Green's functions of multilayered structures is adopted. Discretization of the continuous functions and utilization of the periodicity of the MMIC structures enclosed by sidewalls lead to a discrete convolution operation, which is carried out efficiently using the FET (fast Fourier transform) algorithm. The spectral Green's functions are modified for both the periodic and aperiodic structures to improve the numerical efficiency of the iterative algorithm. Numerical results are presented and compared with available data
