Application of a Hybrid Method to Model the Interaction Between an Electromagnetic Illumination and an Active Microwave Component

This paper presents an analysis of the interaction between an electromagnetic illumination and a microwave transistor applying a hybrid method. This method combines a 3D electromagnetic simulation, which employs a Finite Element Method in the frequency domain, and a classical circuit one. This approach will be firstly applied to predict the effect of an electromagnetic illumination on the FET electrodes, and secondly to predict its effect on the FET input microstrip lines.
