| Abstract: | With the increasing gate density, the rising clock frequency, printed circuit board (PCB) level simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become a major bottleneck for the signal integrity in high-speed microprocessors and computers. All approaches that are currently being used to address this problem have been proven inefficient for switching frequencies of 500 MHz and above. The research work carried out in this dissertation addresses a novel technique for mitigating high-frequency SSN by suppressing the natural parallel-plate resonant modes encountered in traditional power planes. This is done by replacing at least one of the power planes of the power distribution network with a high-impedance electromagnetic surface (HIS). The high-impedance electromagnetic surface, which indeed is an artificial magnetic conductor, prevents any surface wave propagation in its forbidden band-gap, therefore leading to the suppression of resonant modes. Using full wave electromagnetic simulation and expe... |
