Abstract

In this work, the electromagnetic modeling of multiregion, finite-sized lossy substrates in microelectronic circuits is carried out utilizing time-domain surface integral equations. To reduce the additional computational complexity in the implementation caused by the decaying “wake” of the Green's function in lossy media, the resulting temporal convolution is addressed by the creation and use of an a priori exponential fitting table for discrete distances through Prony's method. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
