New Developments for Improved Simulation of Interconnects Based on Method of Moments

Abstract

The paper gives arguments for the topicality of electromagnetic compatibility modeling. Trends of electromagnetic simulation software development are stated. General simulation process based on method of moments is described. On examples of interconnects the improvement of simulation is shown, obtained by means of decrease of computational costs on segmentation and solution of linear algebraic systems. Time response calculation is described and results of waveform animation are presented. Recently designed testing tools are briefly described. Keywords-electromagnetic compatibility; interconnects; method of moments; adaptive iterative choice of the optimal segmentation; linear systems; softwareI.

Solving the Complexity Problem in the Electronics Production Process by Reducing the Sensitivity of Transmission Line Characteristics to Their Parameter Variations

“…The investigation of a microstrip structure of various characteristics, especially in the first stage should be performed through simulation, as it is less costly and may be more accurate than measurements. In this regard, in this work, the construction of cross-sections and calculations are performed in the TALGAT system available to the authors [28]. Strict full-wave analysis of fields in the investigated lines is rather complicated.…”

Systematic Approach to Optimization for Protection Against Intentional Ultrashort Pulses Based on Multiconductor Modal Filters

“…The parameters and forms of the signal were calculated in TALGAT software [14], wherein the abovementioned models and steps were implemented. As the exciting pulses, we used a trapezoidal pulse with rise, fall, and flat top durations of 50 ps (the overall duration of 150 ps, to approximate the typical ultrashort pulse in the simulation without considering losses) with an amplitude of 5 V and a digitized signal of the S9-11 oscilloscope (for the maximum possible approximation to the actual exciting signal in the simulation considering losses) with an amplitude of 0.644 V (measured at 50 Ω load) and the durations of rise of 56 ps, fall of 48 ps, and flat top of 4 ps (the overall duration was 108 ps; durations were measured at levels of 0.1-0.9).…”

“…Multicriteria GA Optimization of MF with N = 3. To test the theory, a three-conductor microstrip MF was optimized by GA. We used the multicriteria objective function that combines one amplitude (14) and three (19), (20), and (21) time criteria with equal weighting coefficients for N = 3:…”

Contactless Modal Phenomena Based Approach to Detecting, Identifying, and Diagnosing of Electrical Connections

“…The first is used for validation made on the basis of finite integration technique. The second is used as a main approach based on fast and accurate models implemented in the available TAL-GAT software [19]. The simulation is described below in more detail.…”
