- Abstract
- This paper proposes design schemes to reduce the common mode noise from weakly coupled differential serpentine delay microstrip lines (DSDMLs). The proposed approach is twofold: we leverage strongly coupled vertical-turn-coupled traces (VTCTs) instead of weakly coupled VTCTs (conventional pattern) and add guard traces. Time- and frequency-domain analyses of the proposed schemes for reducing the common-mode noise are performed by studying the transmission waveform and the differential-to-common mode conversion using the circuit solver HSPICE and the 3-D full-wave simulator HFSS, respectively. Compared to the conventional design of the weakly coupled DSDMLs, the proposed solutions yield a reduction of about 54% of the peak-to-peak amplitude of the common-mode noise, while the differential impedance remains matched along the complete length of the DSDML. Moreover, the range of frequencies, over which the magnitude of the differential-to-common mode conversion is now significantly reduced, is very wide, i.e. about 0.3-10 GHz. Furthermore, the differential insertion and reflection loss introduced by the newly proposed designs are almost the same as the ones achieved by using the conventional design. Finally, a favorable comparison between simulated and measured results confirms the excellent common-mode noise reduction performance of the proposed schemes.
