Abstract

This paper discusses the possibilities of using the circuit simulation program, simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) for the simulation of partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) models. After an introduction into the PEEC method, the simulation of quasi-stationary models is considered. An enhancement of SPICE is described, allowing the simulation of retarded PEEC models. This enables the computation of electric fields radiated from an interconnection structure. With the modified SPICE simulator it is possible to use existing SPICE models and combine them with full wave PEEC models
