MoM based current reconstruction using near-field scanning

Multiple digital ICs sharing ground plane have potential problems of ground noise interference to each other. Current distribution on the ground plane can introduce intra-system EMC issues, which can possibly result in receiver desensitization issue in wireless devices. In this paper, a method of moment (MoM) based current reconstruction method is proposed to estimate the current on the ground plane. This method requires phased resolved near field data for accurate current reconstruction. The proposed method is validated by a numerical example. The current reconstructed from the proposed method is compared with the current from the simulation tool. The difference is within 3.5 dB which is acceptable for most engineering practice.
