Abstract

Simulation of large interconnect structures has become a necessity for the design of current systems. The efficiency of moment-matching techniques has made the simulation of high-speed circuits containing large numbers of interconnect networks practically possible. In this paper a new method is proposed to extend moment-matching techniques to the analysis of interconnect networks with frequency dependent parameters. The frequency dependent interconnect parameters are extracted using the integral form of the Helmholtz equation
