Micropackaging for Mm-Wave Circuits

Abstract

Complex antenna and circuit problems including their package on wafer require very intensive calculations due to the need to accurately simulate the underlying high-frequency effects and account for all the parasitic mechanisms. As part of this project, we have successfully applied a novel frequency domain scheme recently developed at the University of Michigan that allows for the very successful and computationally efficient solution of complex antenna problems. This technique has been applied to a variety of circuit and antenna problems and has demonstrated the capability to provide accurate solutions in much more efficient ways than in the conventional techniques. The whole idea in this approach is the use of wavelets in the expansion of the unknown functions. The use of wavelets allows for the computation of the values of the derivatives of the unknown field quantities in addition to the average values of the field. This allows for the development of novel space-adaptive schemes with unique capabilities.
