  • Three-dimensional technique for improving the EMC characteristics of a printed circuit board
    Patent number: 6507495
    Abstract: An apparatus for use with data processing systems. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes but is not limited to at least one conductive member having a first end electrically coupled to a first conductive structure which partially forms a moat and a second end electrically coupled to a second conductive structure which substantially spans the moat, with the second conductive structure having at least a part overhanging a third conductive structure which partially forms the moat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2000
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2003
    Assignee: Dell Products L.P.
    Inventors: Jeffery C. Hailey, Donald L. Brooks
  • EMC characteristics of a printed circuit board
    Patent number: 6349038
    Abstract: An apparatus for use with data processing systems. The apparatus provides a split metallic conducting plane having a split formed by a substantially-dielectric-filled moat spanning a width of a side of a first metallic conducting part running substantially parallel to a side of a second metallic conducting part, with the moat structured such that the side of the first metallic part has at least two indentations and such that the side of the second metallic part has at least two indentations, and where a metallic trace is located proximate to the split metallic conducting plane.
