摘要： This paper presents a quasi-static surface-based partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) model for electromagnetic problems consisting of coupled conductors and heterogeneous dielectrics of finite size. The PEEC model is based on the surface equivalent principle. Unlike the traditional surface-based PEEC models, in which the integral equations are set up by enforcing the field continuity in the true field region, the homogeneous integral equations in this model are obtained by enforcing the tangential null field condition in the null field regions. Simplified integral equations are obtained under the quasi-static assumption, in which the circuit elements carrying electric currents and magnetic charges on the dielectric surfaces are vanished. Consequently, the size of the subcircuit describing dielectrics is reduced significantly compared to the full-wave surface-PEEC (S-PEEC) model. Since the quasi-static S-PEEC model only contains frequency-independent circuit elements, it can be conveniently used for time-domain simulation. Three numerical examples are presented to validate the new PEEC model for typical embedded RF passive components, packaging and interconnection problems in both the frequency domain and the time domain. Excellent agreement is observed between the results of the proposed PEEC model, S-PEEC model, and those of commercial software within the quasi-static frequency range.
