Physical equivalent electrical circuits facilitate rootcause analysis of resonance phenomena in electromagnetic components. We extend an existing formalism for the generation of physical equivalent circuits by linking the resonant behaviour of the equivalent circuit with 3D electromagnetic eigenmodes of the component. We define a figure of merit, which we call quality, describing the frequency range of validity and the accuracy of equivalent circuit descriptions of 3D components. We validate our approach by analyzing practical examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
