Abstract
Fullβwave electromagnetic simulators have enabled microwave designers to simulate complex geometries which sometimes cannot be done by conventional computerβaided design (CAD) nodal simulators. However, designers should pay close attention to how the numerical implementation of the fullβwave analysis can affect the results of the electromagnetic simulation. This study uses various modeling parameters to determine the convergence of a GaAs microstrip's simulated transmission line characteristics. A commercially available program, Sonnet's βEM,β was used for the analysis but the results can be generalized for any fullβwave analysis. This article explores the limits of Sonnet as well as showing that a designer must use a convergence analysis to prove the validity of an electromagnetic simulation. Β© 1994 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
