Abstract
The electric properties of monolithic microwave integrated circuits can be described in terms of their scattering matrix using Maxwellian equations. The corresponding three-dimensional boundary value problem of the Maxwellian equations can be solved by means of a finite-volume scheme in the frequency domain. This results in a two-step procedure: a time and memory consuming eigenvalue problem for nonsymmetric matrices and the solution of a large-scale system of linear equations with indefinite symmetric matrices.
