The three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) based on through silicon via (TSV) technology offer a solution to meet the continuously increasing demand on high-speed electronic products. In order to comprehensively evaluate the signal transmission of TSV in increasing signal frequency, accuracy equivalent circuit model is necessary. In this paper, a method of double-T type equivalent circuit modelling for TSVs is proposed and applied to coaxial TSV and ground-signal (GS)-type TSVs. Furthermore, the transmission parameters (S21) of the double-T models are evaluated by SPICE and compared with the results of 3-D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation (HFSS). The good accordance of the results up to 50GHz verifies the accuracy of the proposed method.

A self-consistent model incorporating the gain into a dispersive metamaterial nanostructure was proposed and numericallysolved by parallel FDTD method. We numerically show that the losses of dispersive metamaterials can be compensated by gain with investigating the transmission, reflection and absorption data as well as the retrieved effective parameters. The systematic theoretical model for pump-probe experiments of metallic metamaterials coupled with the gain material are also well investigated.

Fiber-weave effect impacts the transmission of signal waves on printed circuit board transmission lines. The effect is especially pronounced for differential signals, since the difference in dielectric properties between glass fiber and resin can lead to different propagation velocity between two lines in the pair, which results in intra-pair skew. The fiber-weave effect is difficult to model exactly since it depends on the relative position of the etched traces with respect to the glass fiber bundles in the substrate. In this paper, we present a method to model coupled transmission line traces with uncertainties due to the fiber-weave effect. We also present a very fast and efficient stochastic transient simulator to produce time-domain waveform of the differential signal. The simulator uses finite difference scheme in combination with Stochastic Galerkin Method to quantify the results of uncertainties in the circuit with a single simulation of an expanded state-space system.

In this paper, a method is presented to estimate the effect of transmission media on power supply induced jitter for a voltage-mode driver circuit. Transmission media is represented via its equivalent models of transmission lines while calculating the power supply induced jitter. The proposed semi-analytical method for jitter analysis is compared against the conventional simulations (commercial tools) in a 55nm technology of STMicroelectronics. A reasonable matching is reported.

In this paper, a novel 1-D high-temperature superconductor (HTS) microstrip bandstop electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure is proposed. Tapering technology is used to reduce the ripple level in the passband. Full-wave simulation results show the HTS structure has much slighter attenuation in passband and larger suppression in stopband than the copper one, which shows its good prospect in HTS microwave applications.

This paper presents a 6-bit digital phase shifter designed at Ku-band for electronic beam steering of satellite based phased array antenna systems, which is implemented in a commercial 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The 6-bit phase shifter utilizes embedded switched filter structure with n-MOS transistors as switches. Four different phase shifter topologies are adopted to achieve the desired insertion phases with accurate phase shifting control, low insertion loss and small inter-state amplitude errors. The simulated performance of all 64 states of the phase shifter demonstrates an insertion loss of 11±2.7 dB and a RMS phase error of <5°, and P1dB of better than 16 dBm. The input/output return losses are better than −8 dB over the 14–18 GHz frequency range respectively. And the chip size of this prototype is only 1.4×0.93 mm2 excluding PADs.

In this paper, a filtering balanced-to-single-ended power divider with arbitrary power division ratio is proposed, which is realized by the coupling structures and the microstrip lines with specific impedance requirement. Benefitting from the structure, the fused function of arbitrary differential-mode power dividing, common-mode suppression and filtering can be achieved. For demonstration, a prototype with the ratio (1:2) is implemented. The measured results exhibit the minimum insertion loss of 1.6 dB with a 1-dB bandwidth of 3.8%.

The electrical characteristics of signal-ground through-silicon-via (GS-TSV) in slow-wave mode are analyzed according to microwave theory and simulated by ADS software. The results show that with the increasing radius of TSV, the transmission characteristic is getting better and better, however, with increasing height of TSV, the transmission characteristic of TSV becomes worse within the range from 0 to 15GHz.
