We present a computationally efficient general Hybrid Spectral Ray Tracing (HSRT) method that requires one spectral domain integration step for each observation point. The HSRT method is capable of modeling arbitrary three dimensional dielectric and metallic structures. As an example, the HSRT method is applied to on-chip dipole antenna backed by Silicon lens and integrated with a 180-GHz VCO in SiGe:C BiCMOS technology. We compare and validate the HSRT method for different reflection orders with measurements.
