본 논문에서는 고속 디지털 회로에서 발생하는 SSN(Simultaneous Switching Noise)을 억제하기 위한 자성 재료가 적용된 복합형 EBG(Electromagnetic Bandgap) 구조의 전원면을 제안하였다. 제안된 EBG 구조는 정사각형 패치와 나선형 선로로 구성된 단위 셀이 주기적으로 연결되어 있으며, 자성 재료는 EBG 구조의 단위 셀 위에 국부적으로 적용되었다. 자성 재료의 투자율 실수 성분은 EBG 단위 셀 사이의 유효 인덕턴스를 중가시켜 밴드갭을 낮은 주파수로 이동시키고, 자성 손실 특성을 갖는 허수 성분은 단위 셀 사이에서 야기되는 기생 LC 공진의 피크값을 낮춘다. 그 결과 제안된 구조는 기존 EBG 구조에 비해 낮은 차단 주파수 특성을 가지며, -30 dB 저지 대역을 기준으로 175 MHz에서 7.7 GHz까지 넓은 억제 대역폭을 나타냈다. 제안된 구조는 전원 무결성 개선 및 EBG 전원면 소형화에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents an analysis of the electromagnetic interference of a heterogeneous power bus where electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) cells are irregularly arranged. To mitigate electrical-noise coupling between high-speed circuits, the EBG structure is placed between parallel plate waveguide (PPW)-based power buses on which the noise source and victim circuits are mounted. We examine a noise suppression characteristic of the heterogeneous power bus in terms of scattering parameters. The characteristics of the dispersion and scattering parameters are compared in the sensitivity analysis of the EBG structure. Electric field distributions at significant frequencies are thoroughly examined using electromagnetic simulation based on a finite element method (FEM). The noise suppression characteristics of the heterogeneous power bus are demonstrated experimentally. The heterogeneous power bus achieves significant reduction of electrical-noise coupling compared to the homogeneous power buses that are adopted in conventional high-speed circuit design. In addition, the measurements show good agreement with the FEM simulation results.

In this paper, we present wideband common-mode (CM) noise suppression using a vertical stepped impedance electromagnetic bandgap (VSI-EBG) structure for high-speed differential signals in multilayer printed circuit boards. This technique is an original design that enables us to apply the VSI-EBG structure to differential signals without sacrificing the differential characteristics. In addition, the analytical dispersion equations for the bandgap prediction of the CM propagation in the VSIEBG structure are extracted, and the closed-form expressions for the bandgap cutoff frequencies are derived. Based on the dispersion equations, the effects of the impedance ratio, the EBG patch length, and via inductances on the bandgap of the VSI-EBG structure for differential signals are thoroughly examined. The proposed dispersion equations are verified through agreement with the full-wave simulation results. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed VSI-EBG structure for differential signaling suppresses the CM noise in the wideband frequency range without degrading the differential characteristics.

We propose a novel multi-stack (MS) technique for a compact and wideband electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure in high-speed multilayer printed circuit boards. The proposed MS technique efficiently converts planar EBG arrays into a vertical structure, thus substantially miniaturizing the EBG area and reducing the distance between the noise source and the victim. A dispersion method is presented to examine the effects of the MS technique on the stopband characteristics. Enhanced features of the proposed MS-EBG structure were experimentally verified using test vehicles. It was experimentally demonstrated that the proposed MS-EBG structure efficiently suppresses the power/ground noise over a wideband frequency range with a shorter port-to-port spacing than the unit-cell length, thus overcoming a limitation of previous EBG structures.

본 논문에서는 초고속 디지털 PCB 회로에서 발생하는 GBN(Ground Bounce Noise)을 억제하기 위한 새로운 EBG(Electromagnetic Bandgap) 구조의 전원면을 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 육각형 모양의 단위 셀과 각 셀을 연결하는 선로로 구성되어 있다. 육각형 모양의 단위 셀은 등방성을 띄어 인접 셀의 각 포트 사이의 전달 특성을 동일하게 한다. 제안된 구조는 실제 제작, 측정되었고 330 MHz부터 5.6 GHz까지 넓은 주파수 대역에서 -30 dB 이하로 GBN을 억제하는 특성을 나타낸다. Electromagnetic Interference(EMI) 방사 측정 시에도 일반 전원면/접지면에 비해 낮은 EMI 특성을 나타낸다. 본 논문에서 제안한 육각형 EBG 구조의 전원면은 실제 EBG 전원면의 적용에 효율적으로 작용하여 초고속 디지털 회로의 EMI 문제를 해결하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

We present experimental demonstrations of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures for the wideband suppression of radiated emissions from a power bus in high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs). In most of the PCB designs, a parallel plate waveguide (PPW) structure is employed for a power bus. This structure significantly produces the wideband-radiated emissions resulting from parallel plate modes. To suppress the parallel plate modes in the wideband frequency range, the power buses based on the electromagnetic bandgap structure with a defected ground structure (DGS) are presented. DGSs are applied to a metal plane that is connected to a rectangular EBG patch by using a via structure. The use of the DGS increases the characteristic impedance value of a unit cell, thereby substantially improving the suppression bandwidth of the radiated emissions. It is experimentally demonstrated that the DGS-EBG structure significantly mitigates the radiated emissions over the frequency range of 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz as compared to the PPW.

A dispersion analysis is performed to estimate the stopband characteristics of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures with defected ground structures (DGS) of various shapes. Design guidelines are suggested for both elliptical and rectangular DGS patterns that result in a maximum stopband bandwidth for a given perforation area. This method provides a basis for numerical optimization techniques that can be used in synthesizing DGS shapes to meet bandgap requirements and layout constraints.

This paper proposes a spiral-shaped power island structure that can effectively suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) when the power plane drives high-speed integrated circuits in a small area. In addition, a new technique is presented which greatly improves the resonance peaks in a stopband by utilizing ${\lambda}$/4 open stubs on a conventional periodic electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) power plane. Both proposed structures are simulated numerically and experimentally verified using commercially available 3D electromagnetic field simulation software. The results demonstrate that they achieve better SSN suppression performance than conventional periodic EBG structures.

An edge-located electromagnetic bandgap (EL-EBG) structure using a defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed to suppress resonant modes induced by edge excitation in a two-dimensional planar parallel plate waveguide (PPW). The proposed EL-DGS-EBG PPW significantly mitigates multiple transverse-magnetic (TM) modes in a wideband frequency range corresponding to an EBG stopband. To verify the wideband suppression, test vehicles of a conventional PPW, a PPW with a mushroom-type EBG structure, and an EL-DGS-EBG PPW are fabricated using a commercial process involving printed circuit boards (PCBs). Measurements of the input impedances show that multiple resonant modes of the previous PPWs are significantly excited through an input port located at a PPW edge. In contrast, resonant modes in the EL-DGS-EBG PPW are substantially suppressed over the frequency range of 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz. In addition, we have experimentally demonstrated that the EL-DGS-EBG PPW reduces the radiated emission from -24 dB to -44 dB as compared to the conventional PPW.
