Time domain coupling to a device on a printed circuit board inside a cavity

Abstract

[1] Time domain coupling from an incident plane wave pulse to a device on a printed circuit board inside of a metallic cavity enclosure is calculated and studied, using an efficient hybrid method. The cavity has an exterior feed wire that penetrates through an aperture and makes direct contact with the printed circuit board trace that leads to the device. The signal level at the input port of the device is calculated and studied. The incident electromagnetic field is assumed to be a time domain plane wave in the form of a pulse, and two pulse shapes (a Gaussian pulse and an exponentially damped sinusoidal pulse) are studied. Results show how different pulse characteristics produce different types of signals at the input to the device. The time domain results are validated by comparing with simple expressions based on the resonant frequencies and the quality factor of the cavity.Citation: Lertsirimit, C., D. R. Jackson, and D. R.

Super imaging with a plasmonic metamaterial: Role of aperture shape

“…On the other hand, a new class of artificial materials, metallic plates with periodic array of apertures [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], drew a great deal of attention recently stimulated by the discovery of extraordinary optical transmission phenomenon [21]. In 2004, Pendry et al demonstrated that metallic plates with slits or square holes support spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), and when the unit cells are enough subwavelength, such complex systems can be homogenized as plasmonic metamaterials with well-defined equivalent parameters.…”

Radiated Near-Field Emission Extraction on 3d Curvilinear Surfaces From 2d Data

“…Furthermore, the associated NF radiation processing methods are hardly practical for predicting EM emission in the 3D zones located nearby the radiating devices [23]. Different from the EM far-field radiation analyses, the evanescent and non-uniform waves are of crucial importance when the NF emission interacts with a sensitive electronic circuit [1,2,16].…”

“…With the increase of electronic design complexity and operating frequency, electromagnetic (EM) radiation becomes harmful between the neighboring circuits [1,2]. The EM field interactions with the neighboring electronic printed circuit boards (PCBs) become more and more crucial for the embedded systems [3].…”
