A novel uniplanar compact photonic bandgap power plane with ultra-broadband suppression of ground bounce noise

A novel /spl pi/-bridged photonic bandgap (PBG) power/ground planes is proposed with ultra-broadband suppression of the ground bounce noise(GBN) in the high-speed printed circuit boards. The S-parameters of the proposed low-period structures show that the novel uniplanar compact photonic bandgap (UC-PBG) structures could omni-directionally suppress the GBN in RF/analog circuits and digital circuits. The high omnidirectionally suppressions of the GBN for the proposed structure are validated both experimentally and numerically in the noise bandwidth from 300MHz to 6GHz, almost the whole noise band.
