Abstract
- An effective computational tool for the simulation and design of voltage dividers has been realized. It takes advantage of a finite-element procedure for the accurate computation of the divider stray capacitances. These latter are then the input of a circuit solver procedure based on the modified node potential technique, which provides the divider frequency response. Furthermore, a test divider has been set up for the purpose of the tool validation. A very good agreement has been found between measured and computed results. This paper highlights that a correct representation of the resistors is necessary in the finite-element method (FEM) model, during the computation of the stray parameters. This issue has been clarified for the first time in this paper. In addition, a comparison between the FEM and boundary-element method has been carried out before the implementation of the numerical code, stating the superior effectiveness of FEM. The computational tool has been finally tested on a real voltage divider. Good results have been found in terms of computational accuracy. Limited discrepancies between measured and computed results have been found up to 10 kHz, with 5.7% for the scale factor and less than 24 mrad for the phase error. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
