Multilayer package modeling using the multi-resolution time domain technique

The multi-resolution time domain technique is applied to the modeling of multilayer packaging structures. In particular, the performance of a multilayer balun is evaluated using MRTD and the results are compared to those obtained using the FDTD technique as well as a commercial simulator. The abilities of MRTD to handle complex structures and as nonuniform cells are highlighted.
