Patent ID: 7945876

Claim:
A method for electromagnetic modeling of an electronic circuit, comprising the steps of: providing at least one software program executing on at least one central processing unit, said at least one software program being configured to perform the following steps of: obtaining electromagnetic analysis data associated with at least a first port and a second port of an electronic circuit, said electromagnetic analysis data including a set of one or more electromagnetic coupling values that each represent at least one electromagnetic characteristic that is associated with a location between said first port and said second port; providing at least two model electronic components, each of said model electronic components having a pre-determined structure, said pre-determined structure including an input port and an output port and a set of one or more electronic elements that are located between said input port and said output port, each electronic element configured to be assigned a separate electrical property representing an amount of a resistance, an inductance or a capacitance; selecting synthesis data as a first portion of said electromagnetic analysis data, said synthesis data providing sufficient information to respectively synthesize at least two of said model electronic components into at least two synthesized model electronic components; and selecting non-synthesis data as a second portion of said electromagnetic analysis data, said non-synthesis data providing sufficient information to evaluate said at least two synthesized model electronic components; synthesizing at least two of said model electronic components into at least two synthesized model electronic components by assigning an amount of a resistance, an inductance or a capacitance to said electrical property of said each electronic element of each said model each of said synthesized model electronic components to define a corresponding synthesized model electronic component such that resulting electromagnetic characteristics of each corresponding synthesized model electronic component match electromagnetic characteristics of said synthesis data; evaluating said at least two synthesized model electronic components by comparing said resulting electromagnetic characteristics of said each corresponding synthesized model electronic component with electromagnetic characteristics of said non-synthesis data; and selecting at least one said synthesized model electronic components in response to said step of evaluating.
