Power plane SPICE models for frequency and time domains

A SPICE model for power plane simulation has been developed. It is based on the geometries and materials of the power planes and uses a unit cell composed of RLC elements, transmission line elements or the W-element. Important frequency and time domain properties are demonstrated through simulation, and model to hardware correlation is established in both domains.
