Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a suitable guard trace to reduce the electromagentic interference between two closely spaced high frequency transmission lines. A novel cross-shaped resonator combined via fence is passed down to alleviate far-end and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) in tightly coupled high-speed transmission lines. The distance between the adjacent transmission lines is increased stepwise as a function of trace width. Design/methodology/approach A rectangular-shaped resonator via fence is connected by a guard trace has been proposed to overcome the coupling between the traces that is separated by 2 W. Similarly, by creating a cross-shaped resonator via fence connected by guard trace that reduces the spacing further by 1.5 W. Findings A tightly coupled transmission line structure that needs separation by a designed unit cell structure. Further research needs to be conducted to improve the NEXT, far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and spacing between the transmission lines. Originality/value This study portrays a novel method that combines the resonators via fence with a minimum spacing between the tightly coupled transmission lines which reduce the NEXT and FEXT; thereby reducing the size of the routing area. The resultant test structures are characterized at high frequencies using time domain and frequency domain analysis. The following scattering parameters such as insertion loss, NEXT and FEXT of the proposed method are measured as 1.504 dB, >30 dB and >20 dB, respectively.

An accurate measurement technique is required to fully characterize the losses observed at high frequencies in transmission lines. Evaluation of losses seen at high frequencies is necessary to meet the high-speed data transfer rates that future applications will demand. Conductor properties and losses are two critical issues in signal path characterization. The nature of conductor losses is not well understood at high speeds. Classical models used for predicting the effects of surface roughness on signal propagation are known to breakdown around 5 GHz. Novel methods are sought to quantify the effects beyond 5 GHz. In this paper, a simple methodology to extract conductor loss is derived and validated based on a stripline configuration of two different widths. The proposed methodology is applicable to surface roughness loss characterization of both organic and ceramic packaging materials.

The many advantages of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) materials are increasing their use in multi-layer systems containing multiple high-frequency / high-speed digital interconnects. Although construction of such interconnects is possible with current fabrication techniques, the loss exhibited by transmission lines at high frequencies limits their application by increasing system power consumption or requiring complex transceivers. Use of non-standard metal printing processes provides one possibility for realizing lower insertion loss desired for these interconnects. We have fabricated and evaluated representative single-ended and differential stripline transmission line structures using single, double, and mirror printing techniques for Ag metalization in DuPont 9K7 LTCC, to explore their suitability for high-frequency/high-speed applications. Discussion of analysis performed on cross-sections of these structures to determine post-firing geometry, as well as the level of fabrication control afforded over these parameters will be presented. To predict their performance for high-speed interconnects, 3D electromagnetic (3DEM) simulation models for characterizing the frequency performance of single-ended and differential structures have been also been developed. These 3DEM models have also been used in time domain simulations to verify digital signal capability by demonstrating structure performance at data rates exceeding 25 Gbps. Measurements of fabricated structures corresponding to the 3DEM models have also been performed in both the time and frequency domain and will be compared to the simulation results to confirm 3DEM model accuracy. The culmination of results from simulation and measurement will be used to present the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of each fabrication technique.

The specific contents include visualization of the flow field inside reducer, lubrication evaluation of bearings and efficiency experiment. Design/methodology/approach The flow field inside reducer at five working conditions: straight, uphill, downhill, left lean and right lean is simulated by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). According to the instantaneous number of particles through bearings, the lubrication states of bearings are evaluated. The test platform is set up to measure the efficiency of the reducer. Findings The flow field inside the reducer is obtained, the lubrication of bearings needs to be improved, the efficiency of the electric vehicle reducer meets the requirement. Originality/value The SPH method is used to simulate lubrication instead of using the traditional grid-based finite volume method. A novel method to evaluate the lubrication of bearings is proposed. The method and conclusions can guide electric vehicle reducer design.

Abstract High-speed transmission lines are commonly routed as differential lines to control sensitivity to noise on the reference planes at higher speeds. The preferred method of characterization of differential lines is in terms of mixed-mode scattering parameters, as they provide insight into the behavior of differential and common signals, as well as the mode conversion among them. These mixed-mode scattering parameters can be mathematically obtained from single-ended parameters, which can for example be measured with a 4-port vector network analyzer. There has been recent concerns about the so-obtained mixed-mode scattering parameters, especially for tightly-coupled lines, resulting in extended or modified definitions of mixed-mode scattering parameters. This can be a point of confusion in interpreting the behavior of differential lines. In this paper we introduce the mixed-port hybrid parameters, which do not suffer from any such ambiguous definitions, as they are based on intuitive differential and common-port excitations of the network. As such, mixed-port hybrid parameters can be used to analyze the mixed-mode performance of any arbitrary 4-port network, certainly including coupled or asymmetrical lines, without any ambiguity.
