Abstract
This article proposed a SPICE-compatible model to fast simulate the buzz noise problem in a camera device. Based on the reciprocity theorem, the proposed SPICE-compatible model consists of cascaded scattering (S) parameters extracted from the field coupling. It can provide an accurate estimation of the buzz noise transfer function (TFtotal) between the radio-frequency antenna and the audio system within an average error of 1 dB. Besides, the proposed model allows for coupling decomposition by separating the audio system into different regions, fast buzz noise mitigation by adding filtering circuits, and fast antenna evaluation/selection by characterizing the TFtotal with different antenna structures. The advantage of the proposed model is that, instead of multiple 3-D simulations during the predesign-stage troubleshooting, it is a fast SPICE-compatible method with SPICE simulation time of 4.5 min and one-time 3-D full-wave simulation on the camera system studied. It provides quick estimation on the potential buzz noise problems, coupling decomposition, buzz noise mitigation methods, and selection of antenna structures.
