Abstract
Optimum use of high-impedance surfaces (HIS) in high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs) of two layers to mitigate the simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and radiated emission is presented. The optimum condition is obtained with two rows of square pads between which is the power supply bus, creating a rejection over the bandwidth frequency of interest. The effective method in two-layer PCBs with two rows (3-mm each) of square pads is implemented with a 0.5-mm separation between the power-supply bus, in the 8-12-GHz frequency range, obtaining 20-dB rejection and 15-dB less radiated emission.
