The new highly integrated Millimeter-Wave Phased-Array Antennas Development and System-Level Simulation Solution

Abstract

This paper is about the complexity and difficulties of the full-wave electromagnetic simulation of the new integrated phased-array antennas. It has been becoming more and more difficult to simulate high density integrated antennas on system level since the new active phased array antennas with passive circuits such as Antenna-in-Package (AiP) or Antenna-on-Board become a major development trend. Different simulation methods and varieties of three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation software will be listed and compared, and a possible simulation method is pointed.
