Unlike traditional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm, multi-resolution time-domain (MRTD), and sampling biorthogonal time-domain (SBTD) methods, the ADI–SBTD technique retains unconditional stability, thus enabling reliable transient simulations at significantly larger time steps. This leads to a substantial reduction in computational effort without compromising accuracy. The method is exhaustively validated against both the SPICE simulations and the SBTD approach, demonstrating excellent agreement with an average error of less than 1% in the several key performance parameters for examining the transient crosstalk effects in C-TGVs. Comparative studies demonstrate that the ADI-SBTD computational framework achieves accuracy at par with both the SBTD and SPICE-based results, thus confirming its reliability and effectiveness for high-fidelity signal analysis in three-dimensional (3D) integrated systems. Moreover, this approach exhibits superior computational efficiency than the SBTD, thus making it a practical solution for addressing the issues of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility in 3D integration.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"100-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146175822","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}

A PQ decomposition of the coefficient matrix produces four eigenvalues which represent the transverse dependence of forward and backward propagating waves along the normal direction of the layer interface. Layer S-matrices are then derived for describing wave propagation from one layer to another. The full S-matrix for the whole composite is produced via cascading the layer S-matrices from the top layer to the bottom one. It relates the incident wave to the transmitted and reflected waves. Reflection and transmission coefficients of co- and cross-polarized waves are then obtained.

The wideband and wide angle radar cross section (RCS) analysis of thin multi-layer coated scatterers requires dense sampling in frequency angle space, making accurate and efficient modeling of coating-induced multiple reflections challenging in practice. These coating effects are modeled by a branchwise generalized equivalent reflection (GER) embedded in a surface current formulation in this work. Multilevel schemes then reduce the computational cost by interpolating scattered fields from sparse samples, but their accuracy is limited by phase-reference misalignment. On wavelength-scale quadratic patches, the region-center reference can deviate from branch-dependent stationary-phase centers, causing interpolation errors and oversampling. To address this, a physics-guided equivalent phase compensation (EPC) scheme is developed that selects branchwise equivalent phase centers from relevant critical points and forms a coherent phase reference. Numerical examples demonstrate accurate wideband and wide angle RCS prediction for five-layer coated scatterers with electrical sizes up to 1,167<inline-formula><tex-math>$lambda$</tex-math></inline-formula>.

The main limitation of existing CEM methods is that they are computationally demanding. Our work introduces a leap forward in the integration of numerical modeling with deep learning frameworks by proposing an original solution of Maxwell's equations that is grounded on message passing on graphs. Specifically, we demonstrate that the update equations derived by discretizing Maxwell's partial differential equations can be innately expressed as a two-layer graph neural network (GNN) with static and pre-determined edge weights. Given this intuition, a straightforward way to numerically solve Maxwell's equations entails simple message passing between the graph's nodes, yielding a significant computational time gain, while preserving the same accuracy as conventional transient CEM methods. Ultimately, our work supports the efficient and precise emulation of electromagnetic wave propagation with GNNs, and more importantly, we anticipate that a similar treatment can be generalized to systems of partial differential equations arising in other scientific disciplines.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"400-412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148626985","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}

These applications often entail broadband simulations of multiscale structures from DC to millimeter-wave frequencies, which requires the accurate modeling of conductor losses and the skin effect, and poses a substantial challenge to computational techniques. The boundary element method is an appealing candidate to address this challenge, because it offers a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional problem using a surface integral formulation of Maxwell's equations. However, this often comes at the cost of ill-conditioned matrices at low frequencies and for multiscale structures. In this work, a new boundary element formulation is developed, where the underlying surface integral equations are inherently valid from statics to full-wave electrodynamics. A discretization scheme is proposed which leads to a system of equations that (a) is immune to low-frequency breakdown and solvable from exactly DC to millimeter-wave frequencies, even for multiscale geometries, (b) models the skin effect rigorously, and (c) does not require a barycentric refinement or intermediate matrix factorization, unlike existing methods.

To address the high computational complexity and low simulation efficiency of traditional electromagnetic simulation methods in multi-topology and multi-parameter scenarios, this paper proposes a surrogate modeling approach based on a hybrid model integrating Graph Attention Networks (GAT), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. First, this method utilizes GAT to extract global features from the topological structures and physical parameters of key link components, including drivers, packages, and channels. Subsequently, the DNN module performs nonlinear fusion of global features from the three components, forming a unified global representation that characterizes the electrical properties of the entire high-speed link. Finally, the global representation of the link is input into the LSTM network alongside the differential excitation waveform, enabling high-precision prediction of the transient differential response for high-speed links. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves prediction accuracy comparable to traditional circuit simulation methods while significantly reducing computational cost. Compared with existing machine learning-based surrogate models, this approach effectively alleviates the limitations of fixed topologies and parameters, providing a highly accurate, efficient, and scalable modeling pathway for SI analysis, design space exploration, and simulation acceleration in high-speed links.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"425-436"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148747046","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}
