Abstract. This paper relies on the Grid computing environment use to perform fast electromagnetic simulations of complex electromagnetic systems. The methodology proposed is experimented on a coplanar 6-bits phase-shifter based on MicroElectroMechanical switches (MEMS). YATPAC simulation tool (Transmission Line Matrix) has been deployed on grid large-scale test-bed using a distributed parametric simulation technique. As expected a power-law has been observed between computation time and the number of nodes.
