Skin-effect model for time and frequency domain PEEC solver

Abstract

A challenging issue for the solution of large electromagnetic problems is the efficient modeling of the broadband skin-effect for conducting planes and 3D shapes. The inclusion of such models in an EM solver can be very costly in compute time and memory requirements. Progress has recently been made in the design of skin-effect models. Several properties of a model are desirable for the solution of practical problems such as the broadband frequency domain or the time domain applicability. In this paper, we present a new model which meets some of these challenges and which is suitable for the PEEC solution method. In this paper, we consider relatively thin conductors.
