Radiation compatible ports and loads for the PEEC method

Abstract

The partial element equivalent circuit method (PEEC) has been popularly used for signal integrity and power integrity. Its port setup usually only includes conductive effects in the format of current sources or voltage sources. However, its radiation effect was neither included nor studied. In this paper, for the first time we provide novel solutions to approximate the radiation contributions from the port and load setups of PEEC. They serve to compensate the accuracy of electromagnetic radiation analysis based on PEEC approach. The proposed radiation compatible ports and loads can be easily applicable to EMI related analysis.
