Abstract :
Development of systems on chip with analog and mixed signals (SOC-AMS) implies the knowledge of the generated noise between RF and digital circuitries. In this paper, we investigate the mode conversion phenomenon with all full wave techniques. We propose solutions to limit mode conversion by mode filtering techniques.
