Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the development of a theoretical field-based or “wave” model which we are employing in an attempt to characterize the ground/power plane (e.g., the Vcc plane) structure of a printed wiring board (PWB) or multichip module (MCM). A brief development of the model is presented, followed by simulation results and insight into the noise phenomena. A test structure and electrical measurements are used to confirm the correctness and applicability of the model
