3. Homework (due Jan 22)
[1] Given three wires, each modeled by at least 2 filaments, find the 3x3 matrix for (frequency-independent) inductance between the 3 wires. We assume that the ground plane has infinite size for the purpose of capacitance calculation. l l T l W W W S S H
wire width: W=10um, wire thickness: T=6um, wire length: l=6000um,
wire spacing: S = 5um, distance to ground: H=5um,
Copper electrical resistivity e-6 Ωm2/m (room temperature),
µ =1.256×10−6H/m,
free space 0=8.85×10 -12F/m

4. Discretization and L calculation Discretize 3 wires into 6 filaments.
Step 1.1
Filament 6
Filament 1 T l S W
Discretization and L calculation
Discretize 3 wires into 6 filaments.
For each filament, calculate its self-inductance with (e.g.)
For each pair of filament, calculate the mutual inductance with (e.g.)
Different filaments and formulae may be used for better accuracy.

5. Step 1.2 Calculate inductance matrix of three wires Mutual Inductance
Self Inductance
If k=m, Lpkm is the self Lp for one conductor T l S W
Lpkm is the mutual inductance between conductor Tk and Tm
Lpij is the mutual inductance between filament i of Tk and filament j of Tm
Lpij can be negative to denote the inverse current direction.

8. [2] Build the RC and RCL circuit models in SPICE netlist for the above wires. (suggest to use matlab script to generate matrix and thus SPICE netlist)

9. [3] Assume a step function applied at end-end, compare the waveforms at the far-end for the central wire using SPICE transient analysis for (a) RC and RLC models and (b) rising times (e.g., 20ns).
