On the Interior Resonance Problem When Applying a Hybrid FEM/MoM Approach to Model Printed Circuit Boards

چکیده
A hybrid finite element method/method of moments (FEM/MoM) technique is used to analyze a printed circuit board power bus structure where the source and observation points are in the near field. The FEM is used to model the lossy region between the planes of the board including the source. The MoM is used to model the region outside the planes and provide a radiation boundary condition to terminate the FEM mesh. Numerical results for a bridged power bus structure are compared with measurements. A nonphysical interior resonance of the electric field integral equation is observed. The problem can be avoided by using a hybrid technique based on a combined field integral equation.

On the Modeling of a Gapped Power-Bus Structure Using a Hybrid FEM/MoM Approach
A hybrid finite-element-method/method-of-moments (FEM/MoM) approach is applied to the analysis of a gapped power-bus structure on a printed circuit board. FEM is used to model the details of the structure. MoM is used to provide a radiation boundary condition to terminate the FEM mesh. Numerical results exhibit significant errors when the FEM/MoM boundary is chosen to coincide with the physical...
متن کاملApplication of a Hybrid FEMIMOM Method to a Canonical PCB Problem
In this paper a hybrid FEMMOM method was used to solve a canonical printed circuit board (PCB) problem. The PCB is populated with three traces. One is a signal line and the other two are I/O lines that extend beyond the boundary of the board. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to model the fields in the volume around the on-board trace. The Method of Moments (MOM) was employed to model th...

Due to the increasing frequency of digital and/or analog signals the problem of radiation has become of serious concern to manufacturers and designers of electronic products. One of the most important aspects of 'electromagnetic compatibility' (EMC) is the compliance with radiation constraints (CISPR, FCC). Basically all eeects related to scatterers must be taken into account in order to predic...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of a Fast Multipole Method in a Hybrid FEM/MoM Field Solver
Hybrid FEM/MoM methods combine the finite element method (FEM) and the method of moments (MoM) to model inhomogeneous unbounded problems. These two methods are coupled by enforcing the continuity of tangential fields on the boundary that separates the FEM and MoM regions. When modeling complex geometries with many elements on the boundary, the MoM part of the problem is the bottleneck of the hy...
