Abstract: A high-frequency signal from a tape-shaped line section having a surface layer signal lead and surface layer GND lead disposed on both sides thereof is directly inputted to a semiconductor chip via a signal surface layer wiring of a package substrate and through solder bump electrodes. Alternatively, a high-frequency signal from the semiconductor chip is outputted to the outside via the tape-shaped line section in reverse. Owing to the transmission of the high-frequency signal by only a microstrip line at the whole surface layer of the package substrate, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted by only the microstrip line at the surface layer without through vias or the like. Accordingly, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted without a loss in frequency characteristic, and a high-quality high-frequency signal can be transmitted with a reduction in loss at high-frequency transmission.

Abstract: An approach to enhance the noise immunity of high-speed digital signals by means of a resonance-free environment is developed. Resonance detuning is achieved by appropriately reshaping the layout of the power/ground planes. Resonant properties of the power distribution system, including resonant frequencies and field distribution profiles, were characterized with frequency-domain simulations. Analysis of the resonant field profiles reveals that the electric field distribution of the dominant mode normally concentrates in the vicinity of the plane edge. Therefore, resonance can be effectively tuned out of the operating frequency range through boundary configuring. In addition, it is shown that variation of the quality factor with the external probe position provides a means to monitor and construct the resonant field distribution. Physical mechanism responsible for this unique property is clarified from the perspective of probe coupling.

Abstract: Methods and devices for accelerating or delaying an electromagnetic signal. A rectangular waveguide phase shifter has a ferrite filled center section with a pair of magnetic bias lines placed on opposing sides of the waveguide, each bias line being adjacent to one of the two opposing sides. Each magnetic bias line creates a magnetic field in the ferrite filled center section. The resulting magnetic field in half of the center section has the same magnitude but is oppositely directed to the magnetic field in the other half of the center section. This ideally results in a zero magnetic field at the very center of the ferrite filled center section. A microwave signal propagates through the waveguide phase shifter in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. The amount of phase shift provided depends on the magnitude of the magnetic fields. These magnetic fields are controllable by adjusting the current passing through the bias lines.

Abstract: An orthogonal electrical coupling relies on electromagnetic coupling for the inner connection, as opposed to direct contact between conductors. A conductor on one of the lines is connected to a ground plane which is adjacent to a resonant slot. Microwave energy is coupled to the slot, thereby exciting the slot. A second conductor is on the opposite side of the ground plane from the first conductor. Microwave energy from the excited resonant slot passes to the second conductor, thereby allowing contactless interconnection between the first conductor and the second conductor. The coupling may emphasize certain modes of propagation relative to other possible modes of propagation. Specifically, the ground plane and slot may be enclosed in a cavity of a size such that the cavity does not support any natural mode propagation inside the cavity. Instead, the coupling may have a cavity in which a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode is propagated.

Abstract: When manufacturing waveguides, for example densely located waveguide channels, for electromagnetic waves such as microwaves, the channels are produced from rod-shaped bodies (1) of a material permeable to the waves and non significantly attenuating the waves.

The rod-shaped bodies can before applying the electrically conducting material be coated with one or several layers of non-attenuating and non-conducting lacquer filling pores and smoothing the surface of the bodies.
