It is based on a 2D contour integral-equation method in combination with a subsequent macromodeling step, for simulation in time- and frequency domain. For this purpose a vector-fitting approach is applied, yielding a SPICE-compatible equivalent circuit representation of the power bus. The presented approaches allow us to embed the power planes as a linear N port into a circuit simulator, in order to perform a complete analysis of a power-bus system with active and passive components and the complete decoupling circuitry. The accuracy of the suggested method is validated by independent 3D-full wave simulations and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":201448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126432956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PEEC based formulations takes advantage of the opposite currents in the planes. This leads to compute time reductions and memory savings for both the element calculation and the matrix solve step. We also use a formulation where placement of capacitors leads to only small changes in the circuit matrix.

In this simulator, through suitable basis functions and linear algebraic techniques, we directly and rigorously decompose the original 3-D system matrix into multiple 1-D matrices with negligible computational overhead. Each one-dimensional matrix is made tridiagonal, and hence can be solved readily in linear complexity. We then achieve an almost embarrassingly parallel implementation of the linear-complexity electromagnetic solver with a low communication-to-computation ratio. Numerical experiments on very large-scale integrated circuits and packages have demonstrated superior performance and linear speedup of the proposed parallel transient simulator.

Use of the T-parameter method to rapidly estimate the statistical variation of crosstalk in cable harness bundles is outlined. Crosstalk is calculated by segmenting the harness into a cascade of equal length multi-conductor transmission lines (MTLs). Methods to test the influence of the statistical variation in wire positions, height, and number of twists are proposed using both T-parameter simulation and analytical methods. The analytical method uses the mean and variance of crosstalk estimated for fixed harness parameter values to estimate the mean and variance when parameters vary with known probability density functions. The analytical method may thus save additional computation time, since simulations are only required for a relatively small number of fixed parameter values. More importantly, the analytical method may give additional insight into the cause of problems. A comparison of the simulated and analytical results shows the analytical method can accurately estimate statistical variation for the parameters studied.","PeriodicalId":201448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121627238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is done in order to improve the accuracy of prediction models, recently developed, which foresee measurement of CE in the time-domain and subsequent time-to-frequency transformation. In particular, two phenomena are addressed in this work: (a) The time-variant behavior of CE, due to the instability of the DC/DC converter switching frequency; (b) the finite sensitivity of the measurement system resulting from the related noise floor. Proper signal processing procedures are proposed in order to bound the effects of such phenomena, and comparison of predictions versus experimental measurements are used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":201448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132381265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Far-field noise can be removed by performing measurements in a shielded room, but this option is not always available. An adaptive noise cancellation technique is proposed for cancelling ambient electromagnetic interference from measurements taken in a noisy environment. A time-domain, non-recursive, block-processing algorithm was selected to generate the adaptive linear filter. Measurements in the near field of a clocked-logic electronic device in a noisy environment are compared with measurements of the same device in a noise-free environment to demonstrate that the algorithm properly removes ambient electromagnetic noise from the recorded signals. Electromagnetic noise signals in the frequency range of 10 to 700 MHz are reduced in magnitude by 20 dB or more, often to the level of thermal noise.","PeriodicalId":201448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130084578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The behavior of these parameters, as function of the bitrate set for the link, was also analyzed. The same RC was used to carry out a radiated immunity test on the same WLAN.

To compare the results with those of H=2500m, we found that, the error caused by the shortening only occurs in the decreasing period of the lightning waveforms, and the relative error of Ez is about 3% for near field, while the computation time is only 1/3 of that calculated with H=2500m.
