Abstract-The present paper sets out to present a numerical electromagnetic (EM) method TWA for EM field modeling of planar structures. Combining both the benefits of TWA process and the modeling of planar excitation source, an optimization technique AMT is applied and evaluated in context of RF integrated-circuit applications. The computational complexity of TWA process is examined and the obtained simulation results are found to be in good agreement with literature.
