Abstract :
The method of moments is applied for the first time to the analysis of active MMICs. A description of the procedure is presented and the analysis of two different amplifier configurations is compared with experimental results. This spatial field technique can be applied to both individual monolithic elements and complex MMICs with the advantage that interelement coupling is automatically taken into account.
