Incident field coupling analysis of multiconductor transmission lines using asymptotic waveform evaluation

Abstract

Asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) is a technique for time-domain analysis of electrical interconnects. In this study, AWE is used to simulate incident field coupling effects for electrical interconnects. When a uniform plane wave is incident upon an interconnect network, distributed sources are produced along the length of the interconnects. The formulation used to implement AWE analysis of the incident field excitation problem is presented. Results are shown for transmission lines evaluated in both the frequency and time domains.
