Cagniard-DeHoop Technique-Based Computation of Retarded Partial Coefficients: The Coplanar Case

Abstract

Efficient computation of partial elements plays a key role in the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) method. A novel analytical method for computing retarded partial coefficients based on the Cagniard-DeHoop (CdH) technique is proposed. The methodology is first theoretically developed and then illustrated on the computation of a surface retarded partial coefficient pertaining to two coplanar rectangular surface elements. An efficient way for incorporating loss mechanisms in the time domain (TD) via the Schouten-Van der Pol theorem is proposed. Illustrative numerical examples demonstrating the validity of the introduced solution are given.
