A novel embedded power plane with 10Ghz stopband for simultaneous switching noise

This paper proposes a novel embedded band selective (EBS) power plane with 10GHz stopband bandwidth. A four-layer laminate package with the dimension of 4cm square is used to implement the concept. Because the hybrid-cell periodic structure (HCPS) designed on the power/ground planes selects different rejection band, this novel embedded power/ground plane design behaves over 60dB SSN suppression from 1.5GHz up to 11.5GHz. This excellent behavior is validated both by simulation and measurement.
