Abstract :
The accuracy of well-known commercially available 3D electromagnetic simulation tools has been examined through designing, building, and testing several original microwave integrated circuits. It turns out that the accuracy of the tools considered is acceptable for most practical purposes, for frequencies up to 3 GHz (upper limit of our investigation).
