Hi Guys
This another of those modeling problems which HP Advanced Design System( ADS)
does quite nicely. They have a 2 1/2 D simulator, planar with vias for field solving and
the picosecond modeling suite for modeling with frequency domain models. The time domain
transform (Impulse)is also avialable.
The problem is the cost. ~70k to buy or a lease at 20K per year. Try the website

Hi,
I can't say that one couldn't tackle the problem by
partitioning and/or using SPICE but it seems to me that
the full-wave method FDTD is appropriate to answer
at least some of your questions. FDTD is most efficient
for high-frequency problems and is capable of
handling lumped elements like voltage sources and
resistors.
Best regards,
Ch. Schuster
