Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for fast electromagnetic interference analysis of high-speed interconnects. This algorithm is based on the recently developed waveform relaxation method using transfer partitioning. The proposed algorithm provides a significant computational advantage with a linear growth in time-complexity and easy parallel implementation.
