Abstract
"This thesis consists of four papers. In the first paper, two new common mode filter structures were designed, fabricated, and measured. A "sandwich-type" EBG structure that resonates at the desired filter frequency is designed to suppress common mode filter on differential signals. The new filters are placed on top of the PCB as a surface-mount component, instead of being implemented within the PCB stackup. The total radiated power (TRP) of the implemented filter is investigated and discussed. RF absorbing material and traditional shielding are considered to reduce the TRP.
In the second paper and third paper, new PCB-embedded common mode filters are designed and investigated. Based on a quarter-wavelength resonator, an inter-digital structure is designed having an electrical size of only 0.15 λ x 0.065 λ, where λ is the effective wavelength in the CM filter. Its interdigital structure is also capable of suppressing higher order harmonics of the CM signal and can be used for USB 3.0 to mitigate electromagnetic interference. Further, a novel broadband suppression structure is described that uses magnetically lossy material to suppress the CM signal from 4.6 to 20 GHz without strongly affecting the intended differential signal.
In the fourth paper, a methodology for validating the parameters of magnetic absorbing materials was developed. The microstrip line test can be recommended as an easy-to-implement validation method for the measured material parameters. The heat sink model and simulation comparison has also been investigated to determine the radiation mitigation with lossy materials"--Abstract, page iv.
