Full-Wave Equivalent Circuit for Printed Circuit Structures

Based on full-wave modelling approach, this book presents an accurate and efficient algorithm that is capable of extracting the full-wave electrical model of any arbitrary printed circuit structure. The extracted electrical model is compatible with any SPICE-based simulation tool and it allows electronic engineers to perform SI and EMI analyses of specific PCB layout using the familiar SPICE-based design tools without another set of electromagnetic simulation tool. To speed up the circuit extraction computational time, fast and accurate computation of the matrix elements in the MoM formulation is very essential. Based on the derived approximated analytical expressions for the selected basis functions used in the full-wave formulation, this book presents an efficient and accurate method to evaluate the impedance elements in the MoM matrix.
