Waveguide and Cavity Filters Large Circuits: package board - component Any components connected by transmisison lines or waveguides!
The divide and conquer strategy leads to very efficient and accurate solutions.
Determine how best to subdivide large problems. Solve the constituent problems parametrically. Construct models from constituent parts. The existence of parametric 3-D models enables fast design and optimization of very large structures!
The Finite Element method is used to solve Maxwells equations in the volume of arbitrary three-dimensional structures.
The transfinite element method is used to determine the two-dimensional field solution at the port.

and characteristic impedance (specifies a relationship between E and H)
Generalized s-parameters fully characterize the black-box behavior of a three-dimensional structure. Structures that have identical port solutions, but different internal geometries may often be analyzed separately and joined at the ports. The use of generalized s-parameters that were determined using the transfinite element method insures that the fields are matched at the port boundary. Lets look at some examples

Select the building blocks (parametric models) for the desired structure. Verify the technique on a simple, easily verifiable model. Define the parameter space: what range of values should the parameters cover? Synthesize and optimize the desired three-dimensional structure using parametric models generated from HFSS. Verify the design using the full-wave solution of the entire structure.
The waveguide filter is comprised of e-plane irises that have been characterized parametrically in HFSS.

S-parameters depend on frequency and aperture width.
An important aspect of the circuit model is the frequency dependent port impedance:

Waveguide components are generally simple because the behavior is accurately described by single mode interaction between components. How do we approach structures that are not easily described by single mode behavior?
As usual, take advantage of the symmetry when possible for full-wave analysis.
A single resonator cavity is perfect for investigating the proposed approach because solutions can be obtained very fast, and various methods can be used to obtain the same information. 1.Resonant frequency and Q determined from the Eigenmode solver in HFSS. 2.Solve the driven problem with port excitations (also gives resonant frequency and Q) 3. Create a parametric model in HFSS and analyze this model by matching port modes in Ansoft Designer (the transfinite element method).
Eigenmode solver, driven solution, and transfinite element analysis were used to verify the equivalence of the three analysis methods.

The equivalent circuit can be equated to physical dimensions by equating resonant frequencies of the two simulations. Short circuit = perfect electric conductor
Only 3 Modes are needed to represent the TE01 Dielectric resonator mode. Optimization goal is inserted in
