EM-Component-Based Design of Planar Circuits

In this article, the author starts with a quick tutorial about the ports used in EM analysis and how they are calibrated. Then, the paper discussed a new development -perfect internal port calibration. Finally, it concludes with a few examples illustrating the impact that perfect internal port calibration will have on microwave design.The author have also introduced a lot of new concepts in this article: perfectly calibrated box wall ports, perfectly calibrated (cocalibrated) internal ports, floating ground references, global ground references, several new component-based design methodologies, and baseline versus test structure validation.
