Validation of loop-star basis function approach to model EM/EMI problems on complicated surface and wire geometries from low to microwave frequencies

In this work, loop-star basis function approach is applied to overcome low frequency breakdown problem for multiple, complicated and mixed surface and wire geometries placed in free space, over ground plane or over/in layered medium. Specifically, it is extended to considering printed structures from low to microwave frequencies. The developed approach is validated on semi-analytical and measurement data for various practical EM/EMI problems.
