Signal Integrity and Radiated Emission of High-Speed Digital Systems (PDF)

Before putting digital systems for information technology or
telecommunication applications on the market, an essential
requirement is to perform tests in order to comply with the limits
of radiated emission imposed by the standards.

This book provides an investigation into signal integrity (SI)
and electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. Topics such as
reflections, crosstalk, switching noise and radiated emission (RE)
in high-speed digital systems are covered, which are essential for
IT and telecoms applications. The highly important topic of
modelling is covered which can reduce costs by enabling simulation
data to demonstrate that a product meets design specifications and
regulatory limits. According to the new European EMC directive,
this can help to avoid the expensive use of large semi-anechoic
chambers or open area test sites for radiated emission assessments.
Following a short introduction to signalling and radiated
interference in digital systems, the book provides a detailed
characterization of logic families in terms of static and dynamic
characteristic useful for modelling techniques. Crosstalk in
multi-coupled line structures are investigated by analytical,
graphical and circuit-based methods, and techniques to mitigate
these phenomena are provided. Grounding, filtering and shielding
with multilayer PCBs are also examined and design rules given.

Signal Integrity and Radiated Emission of High-Speed Digital
Systems is a valuable resource to industrial designers of
information technology, telecommunication equipment and automation
equipment as well as to development engineers. It will also be of
interest to managers and designers of consumer electronics, and
researchers in electronics.
