TL;DR: In this article, a novel L-bridged electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) power/ground planes is proposed with super-wideband suppression of the ground bounce noise (GBN) from 600Mz to 4.6GHz.
Abstract: A novel L-bridged electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) power/ground planes is proposed with super-wideband suppression of the ground bounce noise (GBN) from 600Mz to 4.6GHz. The L-shaped bridge design on the EBG power plane not only broadens the stopband bandwidth, but also can increase the mutual coupling between the adjacent EBG cells by significantly decreasing the gap between the cells. It is found the small gap design can prevent from the severe degradation of the signal quality for the high-speed signal referring to the perforated EBG power plane. The excellent GBN suppression performance with keeping reasonably good signal integrity for the proposed structure is validated both experimentally and numerically. Good agreement is seen.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed possible solutions based on decoupling or isolation for suppressing power distribution network (PDN) noise on package or printed circuit board (PCB) levels.
Abstract: Mitigating power distribution network (PDN) noise is one of the main efforts for power integrity (PI) design in high-speed or mixed-signal circuits. Possible solutions, which are based on decoupling or isolation concept, for suppressing PDN noise on package or printed circuit board (PCB) levels are reviewed in this paper. Keeping the PDN impedance very low in a wide frequency range, except at dc, by employing a shunt capacitors, which can be in-chip, package, or PCB levels, is the first priority way for PI design. The decoupling techniques including the planes structure, surface-mounted technology decoupling capacitors, and embedded capacitors will be discussed. The isolation approach that keeps part of the PDN at high impedance is another way to reduce the PDN noise propagation. Besides the typical isolation approaches such as the etched slots and filter, the new isolation concept using electromagnetic bandgap structures will also be discussed.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of printed circuit board (PCB) electromagnetic compatibility issues, analysis techniques, and possible solutions can fill a large book or more as mentioned in this paper, and a quick look at where the technology of PCB EMC control has been, where it is today, and where it needs to go for the future.
Abstract: A comprehensive review of printed circuit board (PCB) electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, analysis techniques, and possible solutions would fill a large book or more. This review takes a quick look at where the technology of PCB EMC control has been, where it is today, and where it needs to go for the future. As data rates on PCBs have increased, new problems have arisen, requiring new analysis techniques and new solutions. Further development will be needed to keep up with the ever-increasing data rates and smaller form factors.

TL;DR: In this article, a power/ground plane with planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures for suppressing simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is presented, which is based on using meander lines to increase the effective inductance of EBG patches.
Abstract: A novel design of power/ground plane with planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures for suppressing simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is presented. The novel design is based on using meander lines to increase the effective inductance of EBG patches. A super cell EBG structure, comprising two different topologies on the same board, is proposed to extend the lower edge of the band. Both novel designs proposed here are validated experimentally. A -28dB suppression bandwidth starting at 250MHz and extending to 12GHz and beyond is achieved

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure with novel meandered lines and super cell configuration is proposed for mitigating simultaneous switching noise propagation in high-speed printed circuit boards.
Abstract: Planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures with novel meandered lines and super cell configuration are proposed for mitigating simultaneous switching noise propagation in high-speed printed circuit boards. An ultrawide bandgap extending from 250 MHz to 12 GHz and beyond is demonstrated by both simulation and measurement, and a good agreement is observed. These perforated EBG-based power planes may cause spurious and unwanted radiation. In this paper, leakage radiation through these imperfect planes is carefully investigated. It is found that the leakage field from these planar EBG structures is highly concentrated around the feed point, and the field intensity is attenuated dramatically when passing across several periods of patches. A novel concept of using these EBG structures for electromagnetic interference reduction is also introduced. Finally, the impact of power plane with EBG-patterned structures on signal integrity is studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple synthesis procedure to design planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures is proposed based on the consideration of the excess of inductance of a patterned plane with respect to a solid one.
Abstract: In this paper, a simple synthesis procedure to design planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures is proposed. It is based on the consideration of the excess of inductance of a patterned plane with respect to a solid one. The planar EBG structure is sized from the bandgap starting and ending frequencies, and few others specifications employing a closed form formulation. The proposed method is also suitable for the design of embedded planar EBG. The procedure is validated by using measured and numerically computed results.
