ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a circuit simulator for examining the electromagnetic behaviour of an electrical conductor pattern is based on reducing the equivalent circuit model of the pattern. The pattern is first represented by a collection of geometrical elements, whose size is determined by the scale of the geometrical details that is well below the minimum wavelength contemplated. Selection of a set of those elements that lie approximately at a distance of one wavelength from one another and expressing the field values of the non-selected elements in terms of the field values for the selected elements permits correlating a low rank admittance matrix and the matrices of the Maxwell equations. Typically, an effective reduction of four orders of magnitude in the number of equivalent circuit components is obtained without losing model accuracy.
