2-D Electromagnetic Simulation of Passive Microstrip Circuits describes this simple procedure in order to provide basic knowledge and practical insight into quotidian problems of microstrip passive circuits applied to microwave systems and digital technologies. The text dissects the latest emerging disciplines and methods of microwave circuit analysis, carefully balancing theory and state-of-the-art experimental concepts to elucidate the process of analyzing high-speed circuits. The author covers the newer techniques - such as the study of signal integrity within circuits, and the use of field map interpretations - employed in powerful electromagnetic simulation analysis methods.
But why and how does the intrinsic two-dimensional simulation model used here reduce numerical error?
Step-by-Step Simulation Provides Insight and UnderstandingThe author presents the FDTD electromagnetic simulation method, used to reproduce different microstrip test circuits, as well as an explanation of the complementary electrostatic method of moments (MoM). Each reproduces different microstrip test circuits that are physically constructed and then studied, using a natural methodological progression to facilitate understanding. This approach gives readers a solid comprehension and insight into the theory and practical applications of the microstrip scenario, with emphasis on high-speed interconnection elements.
A reference for circuit design engineers and microwave engineers, this book covers the subject in a style that is useful to both. It uses a simple 2-D electromagnetic simulation procedure to provide basic knowledge and practical insight into quotidian problems of microstrip passive circuits applied to microwave systems and digital technologies. The author's approach follows a natural route starting from analysis of the test circuits, continuing with simulation and finishing with the measurement. At the end of the book some typical problems of signal integrity such as ringing and overshooting are stated and solved by using knowledge acquired though the book.
