Abstract

The problem of parallel-plate noise mitigation pertaining to signal integrity in high speed digital and mixed-signal circuits is tackled. A parametric study of a proposed planar, periodic, metal structure embedded in an inhomogeneous parallel-plate waveguide is performed by full-wave electromagnetic simulation. Results demonstrate that the proposed solution meets the requirements of the problem. Detailed results obtained through simulation are provided in order to support design of such structures.
