Summary on Grant Application Form |

The aim of this project is to develop and facilitate an advanced EM modelling technique suitable for the analysis and optimal design of the multilayer MMICs.The multilayer structures have been adopted in the latest development of MMICs in order to achieve the high packing density and functionality. However, the CAD technique mostly used for this type of structure is based on using planar EM simulators in frequency domain. This technique is handicapped in a number of ways, such as incapability of capturing full 3D features, lacking physical insights and inadequacy for design optimisation. These limitations can be overcome by using the proposed technique, consisting of a synthesised EM modelling procedure and a fast neural network optimiser. The synthesised approach will use a variety of EM codes operating in both frequency domain and time domain. The fast optimiser will be developed based on a multilayer perceptron neural network. A range of MMIC sample components will be modelled and tested to validate the technique.The technique to be developed will meet the needs for the further development in MMIC technology, which plays an important role in the rapid expansion of mobile and personal communications.
