Abstract

In this paper we investigate the range of usage for high-density flexible cables in high-performance applications. We characterize the electrical performance of a test vehicle containing several flexible transmission line structures built on a Kapton film. The results of time-domain measurements with a novel short-pulse propagation technique are presented. 15 ps and 35 ps risetime sources are launched on the experimental structures. This broad-band measurement technique is used to determine frequency-dependent characteristics up to 25 GHz. It is shown that in order to compete with coaxial cables or optical interconnections, an asymmetrical shielded triplate design needs to be used for flexible-film cables. Such a structure offers very low crosstalk, controlled impedance, no radiation and relatively inexpensive fabrication. Based on the experimentally developed models, it is predicted that flexible-film cables can transfer data at 1 Gb/s rates, with lengths of up to 83-165 cm when the line widths are in the range of 55-212 /spl mu/m.<>

用于数字应用的高密度高性能柔性电缆

在本文中，我们研究了高密度柔性电缆在高性能应用中的使用范围。我们描述了一辆测试车的电气性能，这辆车包含几条建立在卡普顿薄膜上的柔性传输线结构。给出了一种新型短脉冲传播技术的时域测量结果。在实验结构上分别发射了15ps和35ps上升时间源。这种宽带测量技术用于确定高达25 GHz的频率相关特性。研究表明，为了与同轴电缆或光互连竞争，柔性薄膜电缆需要采用不对称屏蔽三板设计。这种结构提供非常低的串扰，可控的阻抗，无辐射和相对便宜的制造。根据实验建立的模型预测，当线宽在55 ~ 212 /spl mu/m.>范围内时，柔性薄膜电缆的数据传输速率可达1gb /s，长度可达83 ~ 165 cm
