The electric field is analyzed in a three-dimensional, inhomogeneously-filled stripline structure. The spectral domain technique is first used to obtain the field expressions in the spectral domain. Analytically performing the two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform results in electric fields that are expressed as closed-form solutions in terms of special functions that are free from any numerical integration. The closed-form solutions permit efficient, accurate full-wave simulations for packaging structures. Computational results for the fields are presented and the physical phenomenology of the fields is studied.

Three-dimensional TEM cells are starting to be used for EMC immunity testing and radiation measurements. In the second case, these new test facilities offer the advantage of not having to place the equipment under test in different positions to obtain its total radiated power or its far-field radiation pattern. After a brief overview of the general concept of 3D-TEM cells followed by a summary on radiation measurements in TEM and GTEM cells, the second part of this paper presents the practical application of radiation measurements of off-the-shelf electronic equipment using an industrial prototype of a 6-plate 3D-TEM cell. The results are then compared to reference results obtained of a conventional symmetrical TEM cell. This paper concludes with the repeatability and reproducibility of results obtained and the possibilities of measuring radiation from very small items such as electronic components.

This paper discusses a method for extracting the frequency dependent characteristic impedance of transmission lines from Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurements using an Open, Short, Load, and Shortline calibration. The frequency dependent behavior of transmission lines was successfully captured using this method. Two types of transmission lines were measured using this method namely, thick metal transmission lines in Printed Wiring Board (PWB) and thin transmission lines in MCM-L technology.

A method is presented in which a geometry and frequency dependent precalculation of large pin count flat package ground plane currents is made. We use this precalculation to construct an adaptive non-orthogonal PEEC grid for correct modeling of inductance behaviour of RF packages with minimal ground plane discretisations needed.

This paper describes an electrical design optimization methodology for a high-speed point-to-point source-synchronous simultaneous bidirectional interface. These physical links are typically used to interconnect multiple processor subsystems to build symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems, as well as to connect input/output (I/O) subsystems across relatively long distances. Major design issues such as attenuation, crosstalk, delay skew, impedance control and inter-symbol interference (ISI) are discussed for long and parallel external interconnections.

The CEMPIE approach, a circuit extraction technique based on a mixed-potential integral equation, has been applied to model multi-layer structures including power and signal layers. Power-bus noise mitigation effects due to a decoupling capacitor were studied for several cases with different spacing between the capacitor and an integrated circuit (IC). Modeling results indicate that the capacitor sharing a common via with the IC power/ground pins is superior; viz., it results in the lowest power-bus noise under similar conditions.

As bus speed targets rise and power supply voltages shrink, the traditionally separate procedures of I/O power delivery design and I/O signaling design must be brought together to comprehend the tight interaction between the two domains. The impact of the frequency-dependent, nonideal behavior of the power delivery system upon the I/O signal integrity and timing must be accurately predicted, rather than loosely guardbanded. This paper describes an efficient way of including these effects in the standard signal integrity and timing bus design process without compromising the speed of simulation.

A parametric characterization of the recently discovered anisotropic UC-PBG-GP is proposed. Simulated and measured transmission parameters are shown for several anisotropic PBGs with different numbers of unit cells. The results reveal two fundamental properties of the structure: First, its working range can be tuned by varying the number of cells in the propagation direction (PD), that is the overall length of the step-impedance slots; Second, in the attenuation direction (AD), the number unit cells can be reduced to two or three without degradation of the performances, which leads to a very compact size of the order of /spl lambda//2/spl times//spl lambda//7. In all the cases, the existence of a working range with good transmission in the PD and broad/deep gap with sharp cutoff in the AD is demonstrated.

This paper describes a high performance multi-layer ceramic (MLC) four chip glass-ceramic multi-chip module (MCM) that achieves very high bandwidth and low latency performance by incorporating unique design approaches and features. These include leveraging an I/O ring pattern arrangement using the fine line capability of IBM's High Performance Glass Ceramic (HPGC) and the capability to use 30+ wiring layers with isolating reference planes. The attendant signal integrity is assured by providing a tailored reference structure to control impedance and cross-talk coupling while maintaining the chip C4 I/O area density without requiring thin-films or degrading the power integrity.
