Numerical characterizationof electromagnetic waves in cylindrically multilayered structures can be efficiently and rigorously performed by employing the method of moments (MoM) in spatial-domain. Thus the idea of obtaining spatial-domain Greens' functions in closed form or fast computational form was proposed [1] and since then many useful results were obtained for planar layered media. For cylindrically layered media, the closed form Green's functions in spatial-domain were reported in [2], where the spatial-domain Green's function components due to z- and φ-oriented electrical and magnetic sources have been obtained using the generalized pencil of function (GPOF) method. This paper, as a further extension, presents spatial-domain Green's function components in fast computational form due to ρ-oriented electrical source embedded in cylindrically layered media. The Green's function components in approximate but fast computational form are compaerd with the exact Green's function components obtained from direct numerical evaluations of the corresponding integrals, and a good agreement between the fast computational form and the exact form. Furthermore, the spatial-domain Green's function compnents due to z- and φ-oriented electrical and magnetic sources have also been obtained but for all the possible azimuth angles.

This paper is devoted to the calculation of the capacitance of monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) passive components. The method of moments (MoM) is used to solve the integral equation for the electrostatic problem with the help of the spatial-domain multilayered media Green's function that can be obtained using the discrete complex image method (DCIM). As an application, the capacitance of several MMIC passive components, including capacitors and interconnects, is calculated. The numerical experiments show the efficiency and accuracy of the present method. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 216–219, 2002. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
