Abstract
The unconditionally and monotonically convergent iterative full-wave simulation of multiply branched (M)MIC shielded conductor geometries is described. With this approach, the electromagnetic, hybrid-mode characterization of shielded (M)MIC configurations of very high geometrical complexity has become feasible in an efficient, stable and monotonically convergent manner up to high millimeter-wave frequencies. For the unsegmented configurations considered in such analyses, frequency-dependent S-parameter datafiles are generated for direct use in layout-oriented microwave CAD. It is possible to set up parallel computers with a relatively simple architecture, consisting mainly of an FFT signal processor array, to achieve dramatic computing time reduction for such iterative solutions.
