Abstract
A new versatile and efficient procedure for designing (monolithic) millimeterwave integrated circuits is presented. It is based on a novel supergrid method (SGM). The advantage of this new method is the integration of a MoM simulation and a simplex optimization scheme, which saves 80% of computation time and up to 90% of computer memory. Thus, workstations and PCs instead of supercomputers can be used for the synthesis of complex millimeterwave integrated circuit and antenna layouts. To demonstrate the capability of the method, a novel circularly polarized (CP) integrated W-band detector antenna was designed and experimentally characterized.
