Abstract :
The Haar-based MRTD algorithm is extended to 2.5D and is applied to the characterization of micromachined transmission lines. Simulation results of /spl epsiv//sub eff/ for Si-micromachined finite-ground coplanar waveguides (FG-CPW) as a function of the undercut and for frequencies between 10 GHz and 60 GHz are compared to those obtained by use of conventional FDTD to indicate considerable savings in memory and computational time and demonstrate the adaptive modeling of multidielectric cells.
