Electromagnetic solvers based on the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) approach have proven to be well suited for the solution of combined circuit and EM problems. The inclusion of all types of Spice circuit elements is possible. Due to this, the approach has been used in many different tools. Most of these solvers have been based on a rectangular or Manhattan representation of the geom...

Silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline Si substrate, in HF/ AgNO3 solution. Although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. In order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the SiNWs length) on d...

This paper describes a methodology to simulate the distributed inductive and capacitive effects introduced by the interconnects on RF board circuits and High Speed packages. This methodology is based on an equivalent RLC model, derived directly from the discretization of the planar electromagnetic field equations. We discuss the relation of the voltage and the current in the equivalent network ...

This paper presents an efficient preconditioning technique in order to couple Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) method with Fast Multipole algorithm (FMM).

[1] We consider the use of lumped voltage and current sources in engineering lightning return stroke models with emphasis on those including a tall strike object. If the model is to be used for computing remote electric and magnetic fields, we suggest a representation of the lightning channel as a transmission line energized by a lumped voltage source, with the voltage magnitude being expressed...

An intelligent design method of double screen frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) is addressed in this paper. The employed unit cell is composed of two metallic screens, which are printed on both sides of a substrate. The presented non-trial-and-error approach is investigated based on the separate design of each screen. With the help of some physical intuition and an equivalent circuit model, i...

With rapid transportation electrification worldwide, lithium-ion batteries have gained much attention for energy storage in electric vehicles (EVs). State of power (SOP) is one the key states EVs to optimise flow, thereby requiring accurate online estimation. Equivalent circuit model (ECM)-based methods are considered as mainstream technique SOP They primarily vary their basic principle, techni...
