A low impedance power distribution network (PDN) is essential for the functionality of high speed printed circuit boards. A pre-layout impedance calculation can avoid time consuming changes on the design during post-layout stage. Design curves for inductance estimation are convenient to use in pre-layout stage. However, the high density voids on the power plane, which is caused by the anti-pads, are not considered in those design curves. This short paper discussed the extra inductance caused by the anti-pads, in two common situations.

The electromagnetic interference (EMI) problem of extra-high speed electronic devices and systems is becoming more complex with an increase of operating frequency. The conventional analysis and design methods could not cope with the current EMI problems. Advanced analysis and design methods are desired. Deep neural network (DNN) and Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) based on machine learning are utilized in prediction of EMI radiation, optimization of design parameters and localization of EMI sources. The feasibility of DNN and BOA is investigated and validated. The steps of using DNN and BOA are proposed in the paper.

In this paper, a novel microstrip transmission line structure based on the electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) is proposed to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) with good transmission performance. Different from the common microstrip lines, in which the conductor line is uniform and EBG is etched on the ground plane to suppress SSN, the proposed microstrip transmission line applies EBG structure to conductor line instead of ground plane. The simulation results show that the novel microstrip line can exhibit better noise suppression performance than common microstrip line with EBG structure etched on ground plane.

In latest laptop computers, the Wi-Fi performance has been degraded significantly due to the radio frequency interference (RFI) in 2.4-GHz ISM band caused by DDR4 memory. In order to solve this problem, a shielding can that is specifically designed for DDR4 connector interface is proposed in this work. We propose to add shielding finger structure to the ground contact of the long slot in the shielding can to improve the shielding effectiveness without increasing the number of ground contacts. 3D full-wave simulation is performed, and a test structure was fabricated and measured to prove the reduction in RFI. 8-dB reduction in the noise level is achieved by using the shielding finger structures proposed in this work.

This paper presents an integration of a 60 GHz packaged low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) grid array antenna (GAA) with a power amplifier under the concept of antenna-in-package. The demonstrated single GAA has a measured maximum gain of 15.12dB at 60GHz, with an accepted impedance bandwidth from 58 to 61 GHz and ±15° half-power beam width (HPBW). Vertical vias and wire-bonding are used to realize low-loss interconnection between the amplifier and the GAA. The measured results indicate that the maximum gain is 26.4dB when the packaged GAA is working as the transmitter, and the maximum gain is 25.69dB when the packaged GAA is working as the receiver, which is 11.28dB and 10.57dB respectively higher than the single GAA. These results clearly demonstrate the feasibility and potential of the solution for the 60 GHz front-end integration and package.

This paper presents a compact 14–18 GHz 6-bit attenuator in 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. To realize size miniaturization, large attenuation range and low insertion loss, the switched Pi/T attenuator topology is employed. It adopts serial and shunt single-pole-single-throw switches merged with a resistive network to control attenuation accurately. In addition, the proposed attenuators use a novel inductive low-pass filter for phase correction to compensate the phase error in difference states. The designed prototype achieves an attenuation range of 31.5 dB in a 0.5-dB step size with 64 states, average insertion loss of 8±0.6 dB, P1dB of better than 10 dBm, input/output return losses of better than −10/-11 dB in all states, and chip size of 0.80×0.34 mm2 only excluding testing pads. The calculated root-mean-square (rms) amplitude error is less than 0.29 dB, with rms phase error is less than 3.9o in the designed frequency range.

This study demonstrates comparisons of power to failure for SiGe based low noise amplifiers under the injection of high-power microwave (HPM) pulses. A general equation was derived to calculate power to failure. The pulse thermal resistance and breakdown temperature are calculated and determined. It is found that although these two transistors have close structure, their power to failure depend on the number of slots, pulse thermal resistance, thermal capacitance and breakdown temperature. Calculated and measured results show close correlations.

This paper reports experimental work on 50 Ω microstrip transmission lines implemented by screen-printing low-cost silver paste onto thin flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates of varying thickness. The microstrip line designs are based on PET substrates with thicknesses of 1.4 mm, 0.7 mm and 0.5 mm, leading to conductive track widths of 3.8 mm, 1.7 mm and 1.2 mm respectively for a 50 Ω line; these designs were then realised. The S-parameter measurements show that the insertion loss of the microstrip transmission lines on each substrate can be as low as 0.2 dB/cm, 0.17 dB/cm, and 0.14 dB/cm up to a frequency of 5 GHz in spite of the average quality of the silver paste used. The experimental results also show that the screen-printed transmission lines still work quite well in bent condition and wearable electronics application at GHz is possible.

This work clarifies the thermal stress profiles and concentrations under thermal cycling test by 3D multi-physics solver for SiC and Si power device chip systems using Ag sintering chip-attachment on Cu plate. A comparison analysis between SiC and Si showed that the maximum stress value in SiC structure is higher than that in Si structure for both Ag sintering and conventional solder chip-attachments due to larger Young's modulus of SiC. The thickness of Ag sintered layer is five times thinner than conventional solder, and this slightly increases the stress in Ag sintered layer for SiC structures with the Cu plate thickness below 3 mm. To reveal the physical mechanism of thermal stress the stress directions are also clarified. It was found that the normal stress is the major component of von Mises stress at the corners of Ag sintered layer, and both SiC and Si chips.
