Application Of A Hybrid Fem/Mom Method To A Canonical Pcb Problem, Yun Ji, J. Chen, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak Aug 1999

Application Of A Hybrid Fem/Mom Method To A Canonical Pcb Problem, Yun Ji, J. Chen, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A hybrid FEM/MOM method was used to solve a canonical printed circuit board (PCB) problem. The PCB is populated with three traces. One is a signal line and the other two are I/O lines that extend beyond the boundary of the board. The finite element method (FEM) was used to model the fields in the volume around the on-board trace. The method of moments (MOM) was employed to model the equivalent surface currents on the board and the current on the off-board traces. The FEM and MOM equations were coupled by forcing the continuity of tangential fields on the dielectric …


Fdtd-Based Full Wave Co-Simulation Model For Hybrid Electromagnetic Systems, Tong Li May 1999

Fdtd-Based Full Wave Co-Simulation Model For Hybrid Electromagnetic Systems, Tong Li

Dissertations

In high-frequency ranges, the present electronic design automation software has limited capabilities to model electromagnetic (EM) systems where there are strong field effects influencing their characteristics. In this situation, a full-wave simulation tool is desired for the analysis and design of high-speed and non-linear EM systems. It is necessary to explore the interaction between the field and electronic components during a transient process when field effects are more significant. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique receives growing attention in the area of EM system analysis and simulation due to its simplicity, flexibility and robustness. It is a full-wave simulation method that …
