Many claim that for stripline, it is ok to cross a split power plane, so long as the other adjacent reference plane is solid. Some others claim if there is an adjacent solid reference plane, less than 5mils away under the split, crosstalk will be mitigated. Read on to see an investigation into what really happens when stripline signals cross split power planes.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., announced that Audix, a Taiwanese-based test laboratory, has selected Keysight's 5G solutions to verify safe levels of radio frequency (RF) and microwave emissions from wireless devices.

An EcoTemp Series FoF 619 gasket from Laird Performance Materials features a soft silicone foam core with a low compression force that suppresses electromagnetic interference without damaging sensitive components.

It takes only one rogue voltage wave to kill a PDN in high-speed digital designs. Flat impedance optimization before layout lowers the risk of rogue waves occurring in your design. Heidi Barnes explains how rogue waves occur and addresses how to get the best performance at the lowest cost.

We care about maintaining the same differential impedance for the same reason we care about maintaining the same instantaneous impedance of a single-ended (SE) transmission line: to avoid reflections. SIJ’s EAB member Bert Simonovich explains the fundamentals and why it matters.

Transverse electromagnetic waves are used to transmit the signal between components while PPW waves are used to deliver power to the components. Both waves are useful, but they have to be separated. Yuriy Shlepnev, member of the SIJ Editorial Advisory Board, explains why.

Rohde & Schwarz has added time saving functions to its high end R&S ESW EMI test receiver. It has integrated the fast time domain scan as standard in its R&S ESW EMI test receiver.

 Laird Performance Materials has responded to these challenges by developing Softzorb MCS. This soft, conformable absorber eliminates unwanted signal noise while also acting as a gap filler that reduces coupling—all without damaging sensitive components.
