Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Method

The Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Method (PEEC) is a method for calculating electromagnetic fields, especially in the vicinity of conductive structures. The basic idea is to model field problems using an electrical equivalent circuit diagram and then to solve this using network analysis methods in the time domain or in the frequency domain . The strength of the method is that the electrical network representation of the field problem can be easily coupled with the simulation of real networks, e.g. B. to investigate the influence of a coupling of fields in an electronic circuit. An application to other physical domains is basically conceivable.

Albert E. Ruehli is considered to be the founder of the method.
