ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a few examples demonstrating that the proposed potential formulation in terms of the Poisson scalar field V, the vector potential field A and the ghost field χ, is a viable method to solve the Maxwell field problem. All subtleties related to that formulation, that is, the positioning of the vector potential on links, and the introduction of the ghost field χ, are already encountered in constructing the solutions of the static Equations. The first example concerns two crossing wires and thereby addresses the three-dimensional features of the solver. A spiral inductor was simulated. This structure also addresses the three-dimensional features of the solver. In order to determine the S-matrix, a rather straightforward procedure is followed. For that purpose a collection of ports is needed and each port consists of two contacts. A contact is defined as a collection of nodes that are electrically identified.
