Popis: The properties of microwave circuits and optical structures can be described in terms of their scattering matrix which is extracted from the orthogonal decomposition of the electric field. We discretize the Maxwell' equations with ortogonal grids using the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). Maxwellian grid equations are formulated for staggered nonequidistant rectangular grids and for tetrahedral nets with corresponding dual Voronoi cells. The surface of the computation domain is assumed to be an electric or magnetic wall, open-region problems require uniaxial Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions. Calculating the excitations at the ports, one obtains eigenvalue problems and then large-scale systems of linear algebraic equations. This paper is a revised version of the preprint no. 987.
