Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform a method, the method comprising: loading circuit design information, the circuit design information indicating at least a geometric layout of conductors in a circuit design and a desired frequency of operation for the circuit design; defining conduction modes representing distribution functions for currents in the conductors at the desired frequency of operation; generating a conduction mode matrix, the conduction mode matrix including matrix elements based on the defined conduction modes, the matrix elements comprising matrix elements corresponding to same conductor integrands and matrix elements corresponding to different conductor integrands; computing values for one or more of the matrix elements corresponding to same conductor integrands using a first set of terms; computing values for one or more of the matrix elements corresponding to different conductor integrands using a second set of terms, the second set of terms being different than the first set of terms; and storing the values for the one or more of the matrix elements corresponding to same conductor integrands and the values for the one or more of the matrix elements corresponding to different conductor integrands.
