چکیده
This paper describes a full wave approach for analyzing planar interconnect structures, such as power distribution systems in printed circuit boards and multichip modules, using a tightly coupled combination of FDTD and SPICE. The technique enhances the present hybrid full wave circuit methods in terms of robustness and efficiency. The method is applied to a few sample problems to illustrate its accuracy and versatility.

An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
