An analytical model for metamaterial differential transmission lines (MTM-DTLs) with a corrugated ground-plane electromagnetic bandgap (CGP-EBG) structure in high-speed printed circuit boards is proposed. The proposed model aims to efficiently and accurately predict the suppression of common-mode noise and differential signal transmission characteristics. Analytical expressions for the four-port impedance matrix of the CGP-EBG MTM-DTL are derived using coupled-line theory and a segmentation method. Converting the impedance matrix into mixed-mode scattering parameters enables obtaining common-mode noise suppression and differential signal transmission characteristics. The comprehensive evaluations of the CGP-EBG MTM-DTL using the proposed analytical model are also reported, which is validated by comparing mixed-mode scattering parameters Scc21 and Sdd21 with those obtained from full-wave simulations and measurements. The proposed analytical model provides a drastic reduction of computation time and accurate results compared to full-wave simulation.

“…Traditional EBG structure of mushroom and planar EBG are implemented for the suppression of common-mode noise of differential signals in [12] and [13], respectively. Literature [15] has reported a removable CMF based on EBG. Nevertheless, EBG filter is limited in applications because it usually cannot realize a wideband common-mode noise reduction.…”

A common-mode noise suppression filter for microstrip differential lines based on substrate integrated waveguide resonator (SIWR) is proposed in this paper. The proposed common-mode filter (CMF) consists of cascaded SIWR units with different size. The equivalent characteristic impedance circuit model of the proposed CMF is given to predict the common-mode suppression characteristics by introducing the spectral domain approach (SDA). Simulated results show that the common-mode noise is decreased more than 35 dB from 4.5 GHz to 11.4 GHz, and-30 dB rejection band is obtained in the frequency band of 4.3-15 GHz. Moreover, the insertion loss and the group delay in the frequency domain show that there is little degradation for differential signals. In the time domain, 86.5% amplitude suppression of common-mode noise is achieved. In addition, the eye diagrams in the time domain are investigated to explain the effectiveness of the proposed CMF and indicate that the CMF can maintain the differential signal integrity. The prototype is fabricated to verify the validity of the proposed structure, and the measurement results show good agreement with the simulation results. INDEX TERMS Common-mode filter (CMF), high-speed differential signals, spectral domain approach (SDA), substrate integrated waveguide resonator (SIWR), signal integrity.

Purpose A novel Ka-band compact parallel-coupled microstrip bandpass filter with harmonic suppression performance has been designed, implemented and tested on GaAs MMIC. Design/methodology/approach This proposed filter consists of modified coupled-line units with T-shaped open-stubs. Findings The proposed filter with T-shaped open-stubs is valuable in performance with low loss at fundamental frequency, suppression at harmonic frequencies and small size. The simulation is based on full-wave electromagnetic analysis and the measurement is based on chip test. It shows an insertion loss below 1.2 dB, return loss better than 20 dB in the pass band and high than 28 dB suppression at harmonic frequencies. Originality/value This Ka-band MMIC filter with harmonic suppression is attractive for the millimeter-wave system.
