Worst Case-Induced Disturbances in Microstrip Interchip Interconnects by an External Electromagnetic Plane Wave—Part II: Analysis and Validation

In the companion paper [1], an algorithm to calculate the worst case-induced voltages at the terminations of a uniform microstrip line illuminated by an electromagnetic plane wave has been presented. Here, this algorithm is used to calculate the worst case voltage at the ends of a microstrip line terminated by real analog and digital transceivers. Specifically, the influence of the microstrip design parameters and termination impedances on the induced voltage magnitude is analyzed and some design criteria are pointed out.
