Differential-to-Common-Mode Noise Conversion Suppression on Right-Angle-Bent Differential Transmission Lines Using 3D-Printed Dielectric Materials

Abstract

A method using 3D-printed dielectric materials is proposed to suppress differential-to-common-mode noise conversion in right-angle-bent differential transmission lines. The permittivity of the 3D-printed dielectric material decreases the phase velocity of the shorter inner line of the differential transmission lines. Decreasing the phase velocity of the inner line enables the transmission line phase difference to approach 180°, suppressing differential-to-common-mode noise conversion. Simulation shows that increasing the length of the dielectric material causes a decrease in the phase velocity of the transmission line, suppressing differential-to-common-mode noise. The measured results agree with the simulation, indicating suppression in Scd21. The eye height of the eye diagram improved by 19.63%, improving the system signal integrity.
