S-Parameter Deembedding Algorithm and Its Application to Substrate Integrated Waveguide Lumped Circuit Model Extraction.

In this paper, a unified method is introduced and formulated for deriving the equivalent circuit model of a guided wave structure as well as its characteristic impedance for any mode. This method is developed through the combination of a generalized multimode calibration and a full-wave simulation, and it is applicable to the fundamental mode as well as higher order modes. The method is verified for both TEM and non-TEM propagating modes and is applied to extract the characteristic impedance and circuit model of non-TEM guided-wave structures. This scheme allows for the effective use of a commercial electromagnetic field simulator in removing inherent numerical simulation noises or errors. Extracting circuit parameters through this technique for establishing equivalent circuit models can overcome the shortcomings encountered in the modeling of guided-wave eigenvalue problems as well as in the design of multimode structures.
