Abstract :
A novel Space-Spectral Domain Approach (SSDA) has been developed to analyze spatial three-dimensional discontinuity problems in MIC/MMIC circuits. The method employs principles of the spectral domain approach in one direction together with the one-dimensional method of lines in the remaining two directions. The new approach is numerically very efficient and can be applied to arbitrary planar configurations with or without open boundaries.
