TC 9 – Computational Electromagnetics

This committee is concerned with the broad application of computational electromagnetic techniques to the modeling, simulation, analysis, and validation of electromagnetic interaction phenomena in circuits, devices, packages, printed circuit boards, cables, platforms, and systems. The primary interest of TC 9 is computational modeling, simulation, analysis, and validation for electromagnetic compatibility/interference (EMC/EMI) applications, as well as signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) problems where electromagnetic modeling methods play a central role.

The core focus of TC 9 is the identification, development, application, and validation of computational methods, modeling techniques, and simulation workflows for EMC/EMI and SI/PI problems. This includes understanding the assumptions, limitations, accuracy, uncertainty, validation requirements, and practical range of applicability of different computational electromagnetic methods.

Areas of interest include low- and high-frequency spectral-domain techniques, time-domain methods, hybrid computational methods, coupling analysis, shielding, grounding, cabling, chip/package/PCB/system interactions, model validation, measurement correlation, uncertainty assessment, and simulation credibility. TC 9 also supports the practical use of computational electromagnetics in simulation-based EMC/EMI and SI/PI engineering, including chip-package-board-system co-analysis and related multiphysics considerations where electromagnetic behavior interacts with electrical, thermal, mechanical, or system-level design constraints.
