Extension of the partial element equivalent circuit method to non-rectangular geometries

Abstract

We consider the extension of the partial element equivalent circuit approach to non-rectangular problems. This extension is important for printed circuit boards and other EMI problems where non-orthogonal geometries are present. We give a formulation which is a natural extension of the model for orthogonal conductors. The formulation is chosen in such a way that the advantages of the conventional PEEC models are preserved.
