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.

This paper presents an embedded RC oscillator which has temperature compensation circuits. The conventional RC oscillator has frequency deviation about 15%, which is caused by variation of resistors and the reference voltage of schmitt trigger from the temperature condition. In this paper, the proposed circuit use a CMOS bandgap reference having balanced current temperature coefficients as a triggering voltage of schmitt trigger. The constant current sources consist of current mirror circuit with the positive and negative temperature coefficient. The proposed circuit shows less 3% frequency deviation for variation of temperature, supply voltage and process parameters.

Indium nitride thin films were deposited by the radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method. The indium target was sputtered by the mixture flow ratio of $N_2$ to Ar, 9:1. The effects of growth temperature on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the films were investigated. With increasing the growth temperature, the crystallinity of the films was improved, and the crystalline size was increased. The energy bandgap for the film grown at $25^{\circ}C$ was 3.63 eV, and the bandgap showed an increasing tendency on the growth temperature. The carrier concentration, Hall mobility and electrical resistivity of the films depended significantly on the growth temperature and the maximum Hall mobility of $32.3\;cm^2$/Vsec was observed for the film grown at $400^{\circ}C$.

Periodic cellular core structures included in sandwich panels possess good stiffness while saving weight and only lately their potential to act as passive vibration filters is increasingly being studied. Classical homogeneous honeycombs show poor vibracoustic performance and only by varying certain geometrical features, a shift and/or variation in bandgap frequency range occurs. This work aims to investigate the vibration filtering properties of the AUXHEX "hybrid" core, which is a cellular structure containing cells of different shapes. Numerical simulations are carried out using two different approaches. The first technique used is the harmonic analysis with commercially available software, and the second one, which has been proved to be computationally more efficient, consists in the Wave Finite Element Method (WFEM), which still makes use of finite elements (FEM) packages, but instead of working with large models, it exploits the periodicity of the structure by analysing only the unit cell, thanks to the Floquet-Bloch theorem. Both techniques allow to produce graphs such as frequency response plots (FRF's) and dispersion curves, which are powerful tools used to identify the spectral bandgap signature of the considered structure. The hybrid cellular core pattern AUXHEX is analysed and results are discussed, focusing the investigation on the possible spectral bandgap signature heritage that a hybrid core experiences from their "parents" homogeneous cell cores.

In this work, temperature stable pulse width modulation controller using bandgap reference voltage is proposed. Two bandgap reference voltages are designed by using BiCMOS technology which are temperature dependent and independent voltage references. PWM controller is designed by using 3.3 volt supply voltage and the output frequency is 1MHz. From simulation results, the variation of output pulse width is less than form +0.86% to -0.38% in the temperature range $0^{\circ}C\;to\;70^{\circ}C$.

A new type of photonic bandgap(PBG) structures that consist of arrays of spiral metal patches is proposed in this paper. Reflection phases and radiation of these PBG structures are simulated by high frequency structure simulator(HFSS) to characterize their performance. The simulation results show that the resonant frequency of the proposed PBG structures gets significantly lower than those of the PBG structures with square metal patches, but that the radiation is nearly the same for both of the PBG structures. Analysis on reflection phases reveals that the lowering of the resonant frequency is associated with the increase in capacitance.

A miniaturized bandstop filter (BSF) is introduced in this paper. The filter consists of one meander spurline and a pair of capacitively loaded stubs. The meander spurline with low resonant frequency and improved slow-wave factor exhibits excellent resonant bandgap characteristics which can be modeled by a longitudinally coupled resonator. The design of the proposed microstrip BSF is presented, and its performance is measured. Measurements show that there is a stopband from 2.3 to 5.6 GHz with $S_{21}$ less than -20 dB. The total length of this BSF equals 23 mm.

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.

It is difficult to design accurately the bandgap of metamaterial depending on metamaterial pattern and array configuration. In this paper, we propose a design method for the wanted bandgap frequency using any metamaterial pattern in 2 dimensional array. Metamaterial structure is consisted of periodic array. Therefore the calculation area in FDTD(finite difference time domain) method can be reduced by applying the periodic boundary condition to 2-D metamaterial array. The method for design and calculation the L and C values by using 2-D is also considered. So it can be designed more accurately and rapidly. For example, we designed metamaterial square pattern array in 5 GHz, and compared with the 1-D metamaterial pattern using analysis method in microstrip line. As a result, we found that the accuracy of this proposed method can be incresed to 14.7%.

The structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO thin films grown on glass by radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering were investigated. The mixture flow ratio of $O_2$ to Ar, which was operated with sputtering gas, was chosen as a parameter for growing high-qualify ZnO thin films. The structural properties and surface morphologies of the thin films were characterized by the X-ray diffraction and the atomic force microscope, respectively. As for the optical properties of the films, the optical absorbance was measured in the wavelength range of 300-1100 nm by using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The optical transmittance, absorption coefficient, and optical bandgap energy of ZnO thin films were calculated from the measured data. The crystallinity of the films was improved and the bandgap energy was increased from 3.08 eV to 3.23 eV as the oxygen flow ratio was increased from 0 % to 50 %. Furthermore, The ultraviolet and violet luminescences were observed by using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The hall mobility was decreased with the increase of oxygen flow ratio.
