Introduction and statement of the! electromagnetic problem The study of electromagnetic field propagating in complex (artificial) media, such as biisotropic chiral, anisotropic uniaxial, biaxial and gyrotropic ones, is a stimulating research topic for itis potential applications, namely in optics and millimeter wave frequency range. This is reflected in an increasing demand of rigorous theoretical models and efficient numerical tools, working at higher and higher frequencies for practical structures, as the planar integrated configuration with a dielectric slab, generally terminated on a ground plane or on an other unbounded medium. Therefore a first interesting problem is connected with the absorbing or reflecting properties of planar interfaces. Recently [l], a new type of synthetic material, called R (or pseudochiral) medium has been brought to the attention of the applied research. R medium is realized on a host isotropic material, where planar conducting microstructures, shaped as the Greek letter Q and with their stems oriented along the same axis, are embedded (Fig.1).

Historical Introduction Radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum found early use in satellite navigation. When the first artificial earth satellite has been launched by USSR in October 4, 1957, two Americans, W. H. Guier and G. C. Weiffenbach, realized that a microwave signal could be used to position the satellite. Originally, the main concern was with the space vehicle. Immediately after McClure suggested to use the same principle to position the observer, more precisely, the electric center of a receiver antenna. In this case the position of the satellite must be known. As a consequence John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory developed a system for positioning using satellites that has been implemented by US Navy and it is known as TRANSIT or Navy Navigation Satellite System (NNSS).","PeriodicalId":219944,"journal":{"name":"SBMO International Microwave Conference/Brazil,","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126908259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These IC’s use ECL like differential output gate structures. In this paper, we present full electrical design and experimental characterization of a high performance triple deck ceramic package based on shielded differential coplanar striplines used for (2-4 Gbitds) serial link circuits. Introduction Very high speed communication integrated circuits require specific packages with controlled impedance transmission lines and very low attenuation. High speed IC ‘s use differential gate structures: ECL Emitter Coupled Logic) and SCFL ( Source Coupled Eet Logic) respectively for silicon and GaAs technologies. We use a differential coplanar lines structure for high frequency packaging to avoid commutation noises and skew between the two output gate arms. On other hand, in order to have several isolated serial links in the: same edge of the chip, this structure is taken shielded. In cofired ceramic package techniques, conductors are made with tungsten paste (it’s resistivity is 14 times the copper resistivity). So, to reduce and control the conductor losses induced by the skin effects for high frequency applications, we use a shielded differential coplanar striplines [I] in 4.5 mm2 triple deck package (Figures 13). The minimum transmission line widht is 100 pm. Tapered lines are used to avoid impedance discontinuity ( the input and output pitches are respectively 300 pm and 1905 pm). The target characteristic impedances are SO Q and 100 Q respectively in single and differential modes. An analytical calculation method based on only simple transmission lines models is used for the electrical design of this structure. This analytical method is corraleted t o full 3D modelisation [ 21 and experimental characterization. Modelisation The scheme and the equivalent circuit model of the used shielded coplanar differential striplines are presented respectively in Figures 4 and 5. The L,Co,Cc and M parameters are determined by using a simple coupled lines models. The impedance of this structure is given by an analytical calculation : Zc=[ (L+M)/(CO+~C,)]~/~ and Zd=[ (L-M)/(C0+3Cc)] respectively in single and differential modes. L is the self inductance, CO is the plan capacitance, C, is the coupling capacitance and M is the mutual inductance.
