An efficient technique for the analysis of a general class of microstrip structures with a substrate is applied in this paper using newly-derived closed-form spatial domain Green's functions employed in conjunction with the Method of Moments(MoM). The computed current distributions on the microstrip structures are used to determine the scattering parameters of microstrip discontinuties and the input impedances of microstrip patch antennas. It is shown that the use of the closed-form Green's functions in the context of the MoM provides a computational advantage in terms of the CPU time by almost two orders of magnitude over the conventional spectral domain approach employing the transformed version of the Green's functions.

A novel high-Q vertical jinductor for MMICs is proposed and characterized in a wide range of frequencies (DC~10 GHz) using the numerical methods such as the PeEC(partial equivalent element circuit), the FDM (finite difference method) and the MoM (method of moments). Electrical superiority of the vertical inductor to the horizontal is observed in terms of the magnetic flux linkage and the ground screening effect. The veritcal bondwire inductor is designed in consideration of the wire bonding feasibility and the optimum electrical peformance. This structure is also analyzed using the equivalent circuit and compared with the conventional spiral inductors From the calculated results, high Q-factor, inductance, and cut-off frequency are observed to be inherent characteristics of the veritcal bondwire inductor.

The method of moments (MoM) is implemented to simulate scattering from a PEC (perfectly electric conductor) cylinder in the TE(transversw electric) EFIE (Electric Field Integral Equation) approach. The procedure expresses the singularity integral and the hypersingularity integral in terms of an analytic function and employs a singularity isolation process coupled with numerical technique along the discretized segment to evaluate the self terms. It is known that, in the MoM technique, the choice of base functions and test functions is very important for the accuracy and convergence of the numerical analysis. Thus, in this paper, three conditions, obtained from the combination of basis functions and test functions, are adopted to get the induced currents on the PEC surface. These currents are compared to the analytical one in the relative rms current error to get the condition that shows fast convergence rate. The fast order of convergence of the current error, 2.528, is obtained under the combination of pulse basis function/delta test function.

For the reduction of parasitic inductance and matching of bonding wire in the package of microwave devices, we propose multiple bonding wires buried in a dielectric material of FR-4 composite. This structure is analyzed using the method of moments (MoM) and compared with the common bondwires and ribbon interconnections. The FR-4 composite is modelled by the cole-cole model which can consider the loss and the variation of the permittivity in a frequency. At 20 GHz, the parasitic reactance is reduced by 90%, 80%, 60% compared to those of a single bonding wire in air, double bonding wires in air and ribbon interconnection in air, respectively. Also, the new bondwire shows very good matching of 60.ohm characteristic impedance and has 15dB, 10dB, 5dB improvement of the return loss and 2.5dB, 0.7dB, 0.2dB improvement of the insertion loss compared to the common interconnections. This technique can minimize the parasitic effect of bondwires in microwave device packaging.

The dielectric effects on the parasitics of bondwires buried in slightly-lossy dielectric materials hav been investigated over a wide frequency range using the method of moments with incorporation of ohmic and dielectric losses. The FR-4 composite is widely used as a basis material for PCB and plastic packages, because of it sinherent electricl and chemical stbility and low cost. The cole-cole model, which is representative complex permittivity model of epoxy polymers, has been applied to consider the dielectric effects in the MoM calculation. The prasitic impedance of a grounded bondwire in FR-4 composite is greatly increased due to the dielectric loading effect enhanced by the radiation at high frequencies. These calculation results will be helpful for designing and packaging of high-frequency low-cost IC's.

An optimum parasitic inductance is observed for maximizing the modulation bandwidth of the multiple quantum well (MQW) electro-absorption optical modulator. For 1.1 pF device cpaacitance of the current MQW optical modulator, the optimum parasitic inductances for maximum bandwidth are calculated for different terminating resistors. In ase of 50.ohm. terminating resistor, the 3-dB modulation bandwidth can be increased 45% wider by using the optimum parasitic inductance than nothing parasitic inductance. This calculated optimum inductance can be practically implemented, since the parasitic inductance of bondwires can be accurately analyzed using the method of moments (MoM) and controlled by changing the length and shpae of bondwires.

An analysis method for obtaining transient response of electromagnetic pulse(EMP) coupled via a slot aperture into a parallel-plate waveguide, is considered. The mixed-potential integral equation(MPIE), in which the vector and scalar potential Green's functions for the unknown equivalent magnetic surface current of the aperture in parallel-plate region are expressed in closed forms derived by use of the improved complex image method, is formulated. When the method of moments(MoM) is used to solve the MPIE, the matrix-fill time is significantly reduced because of closed-form Green's functions. In order to check the validity of the present method, the numerical results obtained by the present method are compared with those obtained by the previous method. Fairly good agreements between them are observed.

In this paper, we present a time domain combined field integral equation (TD-CFIE) formulation to analyze the transient electromagnetic response from three-dimensional dielectric objects. The solution method in this paper is based on the method of moments (MoM) that involves separate spatial and temporal testing procedures. A set of the RWG (Rao, Wilton, Glisson) functions Is used for spatial expansion of the equivalent electric and magnetic current densities and a combination of RWG and its orthogonal component is used as spatial testing. We also investigate spatial testing procedures for the TD-CFIE to select the proper testing functions that are derived from the Laguerre polynomials. These basis functions are also used for temporal testing. Use of this temporal expansion function characterizing the time variable enables one to handle the time derivative terms in the integral equation and decouples the space-time continuum in an analytic fashion. Numerical results computed by the proposed formulation are presented and compared with the solutions of the frequency domain combined field integral equation (FD-CFIE).

This paper discusses the near field characteristics of a dipole source located near conducting metallic walls from an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) point of view. An integral equation for a dipole source near a metallic wall is derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments (MoM). The results show that in the regions outside the dipole source, total electric near fields decrease gradually in magnitude with an increasing field point from the dipole source. But in the regions inside the dipole source, total electric near fields decrease rapidly with a dipole position of $h{\leq}0.3{\lambda}$. For a dipole position of $h{\geq}0.7{\lambda}$, the peaks and nulls of the total near electric field occur periodically in the regions inside the dipole source, and the fluctuation period is almost $0.5{\lambda}$. The worst position for a receptor location is along the z-axis, and a range of a half-magnitude of the maximum near electric field in the principal H-plane is about two times broader than that of the principal E-plane. Experimental measurements are also presented to validate the theory.

In this paper, we proposed the compensation structures for the enhanced directivity of CPW(Coplanar waveguide) directional couplers with finite-extent backed conductor. The proposed compensation structures are. realized by expanding the slot width between signal line and ground plane in center region of couplers. The CPW couplers with expanded slot have the same phase velocity for even and odd mode because of added inductance and changed capacitance appropriately, so the enhanced directivity is accomplished. The designed CPW directional couplers have good directivity and matching characteristic at center frequency in simulation and measurement.
