Are embedded capacitance layers competitive or complementary with WEMTECs EBG technology?
The embedded capacitance layers are a complementary technology because these layers may be used in most EBG structures to lower the frequency of the stopband or to reduce the unit cell size for a given cutoff frequency. The very thin dimension of the embedded capacitance layer may be used to enhance the capacitance per unit cell for many types of resonant via EBG structures. • Q: Why is noise suppression important in a power distribution network (PDN)? A: Noise in a PDN can disrupt the otherwise predictable operation of digital electronics. This may result in data loss or the loss of certain digital functions. In RF receivers, power supply noise can reduce sensitivity or even de-sense the receiver such that it will not be able to receive the intended signal. Power supply noise may also cause undesired modulation of various analog and RF signals. Finally, high frequency noise can radiate from printed circuit boards at levels beyond legal limits for radiated emissions. • Q: What issues i
