Multi physics multi scale modeling of microwave circuits and systems hybridizing circuit, electromagnetic and thermal modeling

Modeling of complex systems requires that a systematic approach be adopted for multi scale and multi physics modeling. The current state of physical modeling tools in the arena of microwave and electromagnetic model is considerably mature enabling discrete problems to be considered. The real need is for hybridization of discrete modeling systems to obtain a seamless simulation environment from atoms to systems. The paper explores a strategy for multi physics multi scale modeling of microwave circuits and systems. It presents a framework guiding research in the development of electromagnetic and microwave modeling tools.
