The platform of this simulator is Windows, but, since the codes and configuration files to be created are common on Windows, Unix, and Linux, the simulator running on any platform may be made up at the same time, except a document on which all the commands of the simulator are embedded and executable. Using the simulator, the transmission properties of a 2- and 3-D waveguide discontinuity in a microwave circuit and eigenmodes of a 2- and 3-D waveguide are analyzed, and the computed results are presented in graphs of S parameters and plots of the electric field distribution.}, pages = {905--913}, title = {Microwave Simulator Based on the Finite-Element Method by Use of Commercial Tools}, volume = {E84-C}, year = {} }
