Cavity resonance suppression in power delivery systems using electromagnetic band gap structures

The utilization of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures is a new and promising approach in plane pair noise cavity resonance suppression. In this paper, EBG/plane pair structures are studied with full-wave methods and results are experimentally verified. A new equivalent circuit modeling approach of characterizing the frequency behavior of the entire EBG/plane pair structure is presented. The equivalent circuit of the unit cell is proposed and the procedure to extract circuit parameters is described. The influence of EBG patch parameters on the band gap characteristics is quantified and the results provide some design rules to circuit designers. Examples of applications of EBG structures to power/ground plane noise suppression are given.
