Superconducting resonators and transmission lines are fundamental building blocks of integrated circuits for millimeter-submillimeter (mm-submm) astronomy. Accurate simulation radiation loss from the circuit is crucial design these because increases with frequency, can thereby deteriorate system performance. Here, we show a stratification 2.5-dimensional method-of-moment simulator Sonnet em tha...
