Time Domain Partial Elements: A New Paradigm for Improved PEEC Models

Time-domain solutions of Maxwell’s equations through integral equation methods are occasionally affected by inaccuracies and late-time instabilities which may restrict their use. In this work, we show that, in the framework of the partial element equivalent circuit method, a more rigorous computation of the elementary electromagnetic interactions, in the form of partial elements, guarantees more accurate results which result in more stable time domain models.
