Numerical analysis of IEEE Project 1597.1 validation problems

The IEEE Project 1597.1 aims to develop standards for computational electromagnetic (CEM) computer modeling and technique validation. A number of standard electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI) problems have been identified and translated into models to be analyzed by means of different CEM techniques. Three techniques have been selected and used to analyze the impact of the variation of some geometrical properties and simulation parameters' settings on final results. The numerical simulations have been performed by using CST STUDIO SUITE 2006, a software based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The Feature Selective Validation (FSV) is used as a conceptual tool for the data comparison between different simulations and is based on the decomposition of the original data into two parts, amplitude data and feature data.
