  • In this paper, a novel hexagonal-shaped electromagnetic bandgap(EBG) power plane for the suppression of the ground bounce noise(GBN) in high-speed circuits is proposed. The proposed structure consists of hexagonal-shaped unit cells and detoured bridges connecting the unit cells. The hexagonal-shaped unit cells could omni-directionally suppress the GBN in digital circuits. The fabricated power plane's omni-directional -30 dB suppression bandwidth is from 330 MHz to 5.6 GHz. Then the proposed structure suppresses electromagnetic interference(EMI) caused by the GBN within the stopband. As a result, the proposed structure is expected to be conducive solving EMI problem in high-speed circuits.

  • In this paper, a novel power/ground plane using the hybrid-cell electromagnetic band-gap(EBG) structure is proposed for the wide-band suppression of the ground bound noise(GBN) or simultaneous switching noise(SSN). The -30 dB stopband of the proposed structure starts from a few hundred MHz where the GBN/SSN energy is dominant. The distinctive features of this new structure are the thin spiral strip line and hybrid-cells. They realize the enhanced inductance and the shorter period of the EBG lattice. As a result, the lower cut-off frequency and bandwidth of the -30 dB stopband becomes lower and wider, respectively. In addition, the proposed structure has smaller number of resonance modes between power/ground planes and performs a low EMI behavior compared with the reference board.
