In this paper, we start with modelling a 25 Gbps backplane channel in frequency domain and establish the correlation between results obtained from passive channel model and measurement. We further extend this analysis to establish correlation between chip test and chip-based simulation. In this study, we focus on the transmission performance of a 0.6-meter backplane channel operating at 25 Gbps, and expect similar performance in the presence of crosstalk with sufficiently isolated TX/RX grouping within the multi-lane backplane system.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115640640","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}

The method used to characterize the channel is important for successful channel design. However, conventional methods have several disadvantages to characterize the whole high-speed serial link including on-chip and package channel. In this paper, we design and experimental verification of on-chip signal integrity analyzer (OSIA) scheme for high-speed data transmission. The designed OSIA circuit can be an effective method to determine the eye diagram of an inside package channel and on-chip I/O channel because it is located at the front of a receiver circuit. The test chip for the OSIA is fabricated by a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. The performance of the proposed OSIA is verified be measuring the eye diagram of a chip-package-board hierarchical channel with 10 ps and with 10-mV resolution. It is successfully demonstrated to monitor the eye diagram distortion affected by variation of data rate and channel loss.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128315080","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}

In order to reduce computer load some approximations were introduced, and we validated the results with the experimental ones measured in our reverberation chamber. Simulated and measured results were compared using the same statistical software. In addition, the computations easily provide other results that cannot be obtained by measurements like the ones that regard field distribution inside the cavity. The developed FDTD code is able to simulate the statistical properties of an RC as function of its dimensions and stirrer geometry. Many numerical techniques haves been proposed to simulate reverberation chambers. Every method requires very large computer resources if a full 3D simulation is done. The developed FDTD code is able to simulate different geometries and movements of the stirrer(s) allowing the designer to obtain the best configuration using the simulator, and saving time for experimental tests. Simulations integrate experimental measurements when long measurement time or destructive tests are required.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581914","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}

The fast switching of the VR FETs couples significant amounts of noise to signal lines in proximity, resulting in degraded signal performance, system malfunction, etc. Detecting all the potential noise sources has been a challenging task due to the complexity of VR design and the layout of the board. The near field scanning technique is utilized as a brute-force measurement-based method to identify and verify potential noise sources. Applications of the techniques are reported in the paper, where noise sources are revealed and design changes are made to mitigate the noise coupling issue.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116574012","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}

Motor voltage transients and related common mode currents are significantly correlated with resonance effects occurring in load circuits. An analysis of frequency converter load impedance-frequency characteristics allows for identification and determination of frequency ranges in which the foremost contributions to EMI noise generation have the voltage ringing phenomena associated with the load parasitic capacitances. This paper presents a method to model an AC motor with a feeding cable in conducted EMI frequency range up to 30 MHz. Distributed parasitic capacitances of AC motor windings are modeled by a ladder circuit. The proposed circuit model allows for an analysis of the influence of motor feeding cable parameters on common mode currents generated in AC motor drive system, particularly in AC motor itself. The simulation results obtained based on the proposed ladder circuit model are verified by the experimental tests which have been carried out for an exemplary adjustable speed AC motor drive application.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116875605","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}

A measurement capability assessment provides the method for evaluating the total uncertainty.

In this paper, a new methodology without NF-FF transformation is presented. Based on the uniqueness theorem, it only employs the measured tangential field over a spherical surface to rigorously characterize the outward radiation emission. The dyadic Green's function for the perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) sphere is derived using spherical wave functions. Based on this dyadic Green's function and integral equations, the NF-FF transformation is not necessary any more. To facilitate feasible near field measurements, only the tangential magnetic field is needed. As the proof of the concept, the radiations of Hertzian dipoles are analyzed. This approach can be directly used to characterize the radiation from PCBs and antennas.","PeriodicalId":440959,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122670546","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}
