The partial element equivalent circuit method for EMI, EMC and SI analysis

A review of the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) method is discussed. The PEEC method is well suited to be adopted to analyze mixed electromagnetic and circuit problems which arises in EMC, EMI, and SI areas. Building PEEC model requires computing partial element, including partial inductances, coefficients of potential, describing the magnetic and electric couplings, which account for power dissipation in conductive materials. One of the main advantage of the PEEC method is that it relies in the easy incorporation of linear and non-linear lumped elements.
