SPICE-Compatible Cavity and Transmission Line Model for Power Bus with Narrow Slots

Segmental lumped circuits are derived from coupled transmission line model for a narrow slot on the power bus. Both electric and magnetic coupling are taken into account by distributed inductances and capacitances. Then a SPICE- compatible circuit model for the power bus with the narrow slot is proposed. In this model, the segmental lumped circuits are connected to the equivalent circuit, which is derived by a hybrid cavity model and segmentation method for irregular power/ground planes. The model is validated by comparing with the calculations of finite element method (FEM) for the self or mutual impedances of the two port networks located in the power bus
