An accurate model for dynamic crosstalk analysis of CMOS gate driven on-chip interconnects using FDTD method

An accurate and time efficient model of CMOS gate driven coupled-multiple interconnects is presented in this paper for crosstalk induced propagation delay and peak voltage measurements. The proposed model is developed using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique for coupled RLC interconnects, whereas the alpha power law model is used to represent the transistors in a CMOS driver. As verified by the HSPICE simulation results, the transient response of the proposed model demonstrates high accuracy. Over the random number of test cases, crosstalk induced peak voltage and propagation delay show average errors of 1.1% and 4.3%, respectively, with respect to HSPICE results.     

Analysis of multiport rectangular waveguide devices using pulsed finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique

The pulsed FDTD method is used to analyse multiport junctions in rectangular waveguides. Two representative examples are considered, namely the H-plane tee junction and the folded H-plane tee junction. Computed results for the scattering parameters are compared to measurements performed by the authors.<>     

A comparison of methods for modeling electrically thin dielectricand conducting sheets in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method

A comparison is made between several different methods that have recently been proposed for efficiently modeling electrically thin material sheets in the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. The test problems used in the comparison are parallel-plate waveguides loaded with electrically thin dielectric (lossless) and conducting sheets for which exact solutions are available. The accuracy of the methods is illustrated by comparison with analytical results for model problems that have exact solutions     

Transmission properties of the single mode fiber with a cross-sectional micro-channel investigated using time-domain finite difference (FDTD) method

Light scattering by a micro-channel intersecting core of a single mode fiber (SMF) has been investigated by use of two dimensional time-domain finite difference (2D-FDTD) method and the numerical results are in good agreement with those reported in the experiments. The transmission properties of the SMF with such a micro-channel can be attributed to the combined results of scattering effect and FP resonance effect. It is suggested that the SMF with micro-channel of about 4–6 μm in diameter can be effectively used for refractive index sensing with a high refractive index resolution up to ∼10⁻⁵.     

On the solution of a class of large body problems with full orpartial circular symmetry by using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method

This paper presents an efficient method to accurately solve large body scattering problems with partial circular symmetry. The method effectively reduces the computational domain from three to two dimensions by using the reciprocity theorem. It does so by dividing the problem into two parts: a larger 3-D region with circular symmetry, and a smaller 2-D region without circular symmetry. An finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is used to analyze the circularly symmetric 3-D case, while a method of moments (MoM) code is employed for the nonsymmetric part of the structure. The results of these simulations are combined via the reciprocity theorem to yield the radiation pattern of the composite system. The advantage of this method is that it achieves significant savings in computer storage and run time in performing an equivalent 2-D as opposed to a full 3-D FDTD simulation. In addition to enhancing computational efficiency, the FDTD algorithm used in this paper also features one improvement over conventional FDTD methods: a conformal approach for improved accuracy in modeling curved dielectric and conductive surfaces. The accuracy of the method is validated via a comparison of simulated and measured results
