Lunde, Vegard. "Design av PCB antenne for 433 MHz." Thesis, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-10486.

Abstract:

I denne oppgaven studerte man design av integrert antenne for 433 MHz. Det ble valgt å designe en invertert-F-antenne for bruk i røykvarsler produsert av ICAS AS. Invertert-F-antenne har den fordelen over monopolen at den tar mindre plass, og den er lettere å tilpasse til 50 ohm enn invertert-L-antenne. Man konsentrerte seg om fire hovedparametere ved tilpassinga av antenna; dimensjonene $h$, $d$, $w$, $l$. Man fant at høyden mellom jordplanet og antenneelementet, $h$, er en vanskelig parameter å bruke til tilpassning og bør bestemmes først. En økning i bredden på antenneelementet, $w$, gir bedring i refleksjonstap og båndbredde, opp til en gitt bredde, før det stabiliserte seg og $w$ bare endret på resonansfrekvensen. De to viktigste tilpassningsparametrene var lengden på antenneelementet, $l$, og avstanden mellom jord- og matebeinet $d$. Begge hadde innvirkning på resonansfrekvens og impedans, men $d$ hadde størst betydning for endring av reaktans, mens $l$ var mest utslagsgivende for resonansfrekvensen. $d$ ble derfor brukt til å tilpasse reaktansen og $l$ til å justere resonansfrekvensen. Siden begge parametrene virket inn på både resonansfrekvens og impedans, måtte man kompensere med den ene dimensjonen ved endring av den andre dimensjonen. Størrelsen på jordplanet er en veldig kritisk faktor ved utvikling av integrerte antenner. Da størrelsen på jordplanet minket, ble antenna mer kapasitiv. En fant at bredden på jordplanet, det vil si lengden på jordplanet som lå parallelt med antenna, var mer kritisk enn høyden. Det viste seg å være en øvre grense i jordplanstørrelsen der impedansen sluttet å endre seg. Hovedproblemet med det lille jordplanet i antennedesignet, var at den høye kapasitansen som oppstod måtte utliknes ved hjelp av en tilsvarende sterk induktans på antenna. Hvis man vurderer vanlig filterteori ser man at store reaktansverdier gir lavere båndbredde. Den største utfordringen i dette arbeidet var å måle på antennene fordi røykvarsleren som antenna ble konstruert for, hadde et elektrisk lite jordplan. For at en monopolantenne skal fungere optimalt må den reflekteres i et uendelig stort jordplan, slik at det ser ut som en dipol i fjernfeltet. Siden jordplanet var lite, ble antenna usymmetrisk og man fikk sterke strømmer i jordplanet. Da ANA ble koblet til for å måle på antenna, fant disse strømmene veien inn i jordkappa på coax-kabelen. Problemet som da oppstod var at antenna så et mye større jordplan, bestående av antennas jordplan, coax-kabelen og ANA. For å blokkere strømmen i jordkappa, og dermed isolere jordplanet for seg selv, prøvde man å koble både feritter og bazookabalun på coax-kabelen. Ferittene viste seg å ha svært liten innvirkning. Ved å legga hånda på coax-kabelen ville man gi utslag på $s_{11}$-målinger hvis det gikk strøm i jordkappa. Det ble store utslag ved målinger med og uten feritter, mens ved bruk av balun var det nært ingen utslag. Målingene med balun ga et akseptabelt avvik fra simuleringene. Bruk av feritter er bare å anbefale på elektrisk store antenner. Da gir kabelen refleksjoner og spredeeffekter som kan hindres ved å koble flere feritter langs kabelen. På antenner med små jordplan er det ikke like enkelt. Da får man en strøm på jordkappa som resultat av lite jordplan. Denne strømmen kan reflekteres ved hjelp av feritter, men det ble funnet at de også vil absorbere en del av energien. Anbefalingen falt derfor på bazookabalun. Balunen vil reflektere all strømmen i jordkappa uten å absorbere. Dimensjonene på balunen er ikke viktig, bortsett fra lengden på røret, som bestemmer senterfrekvensen. Båndbredden til det endelige utkastet ble målt til 6 MHz i fem forskjellige tilstander. Resonansfrekvensen endret seg fra 429 MHz på betong til 433 MHz på treverk. Festet på betong var båndet til røykvarsleren utenfor ETSI-båndet, 433,05 MHz - 434,79 MHz. En økning i resonansfrekvensen med 3 MHz hadde plassert antenna rundt ETSI-båndet for alle tilstander antenna ble målt i. Balunen hadde en båndbredde som lå under resonansfrekvensen til antenna alene, men dekket resonansfrekvens for antenne montert i røykvarsler. Det ble derfor ikke gjort målinger ved resonansfrekvens på antenna, men ved 435 MHz, som lå i balunens bånd. De simulerte strålingsdiagrammene for 433 MHz og antennas simulerte resonansfrekvens, 473 MHz, var svært like så man antok at målinger på 435 MHz ville gi en bedre tilnærming til antennas strålingsdiagram ved resonansfrekvens enn målinger gjort ved resonansfrekvensen uten balun. Den målte strålingen likner lite på simuleringene, men det har i den store sammenhengen lite å si for den endelige løsningen. Strålingen viste seg å være svært avhengig av hva som befant seg innenfor nærfeltet til antenna. Røykvarslerens utforming, samt vegger og tak røykvarsleren festes til, er derfor avgjørende faktorer for røykvarslerens endelige strålingsdiagram. For å være sikker på at båndbredden er god nok, og at rekkevidde og direktivitet er akseptabel, må røykvarsleren ferdigstilles med radiobrikke og måles alene.

Abstract:
The project idea was created from the demand of a renewal for a Power Distributor Unit also known as a PDU. The current product had successively turned in to a cable mess because of short term solutions. This made the product non user friendly, inconvenient and non-agile to handle troubleshooting. To develop this project, a PCB design was created by simplifying and improving circuit diagrams until satisfied. Once the final circuit diagram was obtained, a PCB layout design was created. The result of the project, due to limited time, was only theoretical. The finished product was not tested as there was no time allowing this.

Abstract:
Printed circuit boards are getting increasingly more complicated, as the electronics industry seeks methods to stay leading in modern technology. The competition to attain more economical solutions in terms of increasing complexity, integrity, optimum functionality, impose on design engineers to look for new horizons of solutions, then simulating and testing them theoretically and practically, before putting them into the labor market. In multi-layer boards, the issue of maintaining signal quality while transmitting it between different layers arises, it is a big deal, especially when dealing with RF signals, where each component through which the signal passes must be handled and designed with extreme accuracy to be received at output with a maximum matching with the input signal.  Vertical Interconnect Access (VIA) is the purpose of this thesis. The effect of geometrical shape and the dimensions such as pad, hole and clearance on the impedance due to parasitic capacitance and inductance, consequently on the reflection and attenuation of the passing RF signal passing through was investigated. Besides, a minimized reflection and attenuation was the aim of this project when signals with the frequencies of 2.4 and 5 GHz would pass through the VIA.

Abstract:
Emerging I/O density and bandwidth requirements are driving packages to low-CTE silicon, glass and organic substrates for higher wiring density and reliability of interconnections and Cu-low k dielectrics. These are needed for high performance applications as 2.5D packages in large-size, and also as ultra-thin packages for consumer applications that are directly assembled on the board without the need for an intermediate package. The trend to low-CTE packages (CTE of 3-8ppm/°C), however, creates large CTE mismatch with the board on which they are assembled. Interconnection reliability is, therefore, a major concern when low CTE interposers are surface mounted onto organic system boards via solder joints. This reliability concern is further aggravated with large package sizes and finer pitch. For wide acceptance of low CTE packages in high volume production, it is also critical to assemble them on board using standard Surface Mount Technologies (SMT) without the need for under-fill. This research aims to demonstrate reliable 400 micron pitch solder interconnections from low CTE glass interposers directly assembled onto organic boards by overcoming the above challenges using two approaches; 1) Stress-relief dielectric build up layers on the back of the interposer, 2) Polymer collar around the solder bumps for shear stress re-distribution. A comprehensive methodology based on modeling, design, test vehicle fabrication and characterization is employed to study and demonstrate the efficacy of these approaches in meeting the interposer-to-board interconnection requirements. The effect of varying geometrical and material properties of both build-up layers and polymer collar is studied through Finite Element Modeling. Interposers were designed and fabricated with the proposed approaches to demonstrate process feasibility.

Abstract:
The aim of this project is to design a small profile, low-power, high performance printed circuit board (PCB) with support for high speed peripherals, while relying on the equipment and facilities of NTNU as much as possible. The intended usage of this module is in image processing applications for autonomous vehicles. The accomplishment of this goal encompasses gaining experience within proficient usage of computer aided design (CAD) tools, implementation of high speed design theory, fabrication of a multilayer PCB, and assembly of advanced components with small footprints and high pin densities, such as ball grid arrays (BGA) and quad flat no leads (QFN) packages. In addition, validation of functionality and testing is also a part of the process.There are several reasons for why such a project is important, and the benefits of carrying out such a project can be leveraged in several areas. First of all, it is desirable to get an overview of the production limitations at the NTNU campus. Where does the limit go for how advanced designs we can produce? What is not possible to do at the NTNU campus? How far can we push our capabilities? Then there is the desire of setting precedence within advanced PCB design and production, in order to build competence at the University that the students and researchers can benefit from in the future. All for the purpose of increasing the quality of their education. Furthermore, low power image processing capabilities with support for high speed peripherals are highly desirable in autonomous vehicles and increase the potential for future research.In order to achieve the goals set for this project, one needs to gain an understanding of what the various components require in terms of design and assembly, and an overview needs to be worked out in order to see how much of these requirements can be met at campus. The process started at finding the correct CAD tool. An attempt was made at using the OrCAD package which The Department of Cybernetics had licenses for. It was discovered that the OrCAD licenses we were in possession of were not suited for the requirements of high-speed bus design. Therefore, an Altium Designer license was borrowed from The Department of Electronics and Telecommunication (IET). Extensive research was done to acquire knowledge about high-speed bus design, which resulted in successful DDR2, Ethernet, and USB bus implementations. The finished design was given the name textit{KybMo}. The workshop at The Department of Engineering cybernetics is in possession of a milling machine for PCB fabrication. However, this machine can only accommodate fabrication of two layer boards, and not 8 layers, as the design required. Thus the fabrication of the board had to be outsourced to an external manufacturer. The department of Engineering Cybernetics recently acquired a re-flow oven that can accommodate assembly of surface mount components such as BGAs and QFNs, but the oven had never been used before, so no one possessed any experience on how to operate it. Gaining this experience was therefore important and the oven was used with successful results. Hand soldering of extremely small discrete components on the bottom side of the board was carried out, as well as successful testing of alternative methods such as using a heating plate and a heat gun with extremely low air pressure in order to avoid blowing the components away. Software packages including stand alone examples, and a Linux system configured for reference designs based on the same System on Chip (SoC) utilized by the KybMo, the OMAP-L138, were modified to fit the configuration of the KybMo and was used for validation of functionality. The project resulted in successful fabrication and assembly of a small, low-power, high performance 8 layer PCB, with over two hundred components. All of the high speed buses were validated and the system was successfully able to boot Linux. This proves that it is definitely possible to design and assemble systems of industrial complexity at the NTNU campus. However, the cost was more than expected. In order for student projects such as this one to be economically supported by the Department, an effort has to be made to push the limits of the design so that less than eight PCB layers are required. Otherwise, an attempt at acquiring external sponsorship is instrumental.

Resumo: Este trabalho de Mestrado tem como objetivo contribuir para a área de placa de circuito impresso no que se refere ao projeto de layout focado não só em satisfazer as conexões das trilhas, mas nas regras de projeto com foco na redução de curto circuito de solda para o processo de solda por onda. Projetos de PCB (Printed Circuit Board) ou PCI (Placa de Circuito Impresso) envolvem uma série de conhecimentos no que se refere ao entendimento das funcionalidades dos circuitos e para tanto é importante que se faça o correto posicionamento dos componentes em grupos de circuitos pela funcionalidade; além disso, é importante que se conheça as regras de capacidade de corrente, de distâncias de isolação em função das tensões aplicadas, características de impedância, áreas de restrição mecânica entre outras. O que será visto neste trabalho está focado na aplicação de conceitos e considerações ligadas ao processo de montagem da placa eletrônica por solda a onda. Muitos dos defeitos que ocorrem num processo de montagem da PCB são atribuídos ao processo de montagem da PCB como, por exemplo, a temperatura da solda, o tempo de solda, quantidade de fluxo aplicado na placa, altura da onda de solda, etc. Recomendações sobre posicionamento de componentes PTH (Pin Through Hole) e SMD (Surface Mounting Devise) em relação ao sentido em que a PCB entra em direção à solda a onda, recursos de aplicação de serigrafia, tipos de laminados, de formato das ilhas de solda, adição de técnica de ladrão de solda e as recomendações da IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) serão descritos neste trabalho. O correto entendimento dos defeitos que ocorrem durante o processo de montagem da PCB reflete na constante melhoria e aperfeiçoamento do projeto do layout da placa, que por sua vez resulta num processo de montagem de placa com menos ocorrência de defeitos de fabricação e consequentemente melhor qualidade do produto. Menos retrabalho nas PCBs significa menos custo de produção que reflete em maior lucro para as empresas. As propostas apresentadas neste trabalho são fruto de resultados práticos vivenciados na indústria e de pesquisa em literatura dos assuntos relacionados a defeitos em PCB e processos de solda por onda. O conjunto destas recomendações e seus resultados estão aqui descritos e ilustrados para servirem de referência aos futuros pesquisadores e leitores
Abstract: This work aims to contribute to the area of the printed circuit board in regard to layout design focused not only on satisfying the connections of the tracks but the design rules focused on reducing short- circuit solder for wave solder process . Projects PCB (Printed Circuit Board) involve a lot of knowledge when it comes to understanding the features of both circuit and is important to make the correct positioning of components into groups of circuits for feature addition is important to know the rules of current capacity, isolation distances depending on the applied voltage, impedance characteristics, areas of mechanical restrictions among others. What will be seen in this work is focused on application of concepts and considerations involved in the process of mounting the electronic board by solder wave. Many of the defects which occur in the process of assembling the PCB are assigned to the PCB assembly process such as the temperature of the solder, weld time , amount of flux applied to the board, solder wave height, etc. Recommendations on positioning components PTH( Pin Through Hole) and SMD( Surface Mounting Devise) relative to the direction in which the PCB goes toward the wave solder , screen printing application features , format type of solder lands , techniques of solder thief and the IPC ( Association Connecting Electronics Industries) recommendations will be described on this work . The correct understanding of the defects that occur during the assembly process of the PCB reflects on constant improvement and refinement of the board layout design, which in turn results in a process of mounting plate with fewer occurrences of defects in workmanship and consequently better quality product. Less rework means less PCBs in production cost which reflects in higher profits for companies. The proposals presented in this paper are the result of practical results experienced in industry and research literature on the subjects related to defects in PCB and wave solder processes. All these recommendations and their results are described and illustrated to better serve as reference for future researchers and readers

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to conduct an analysis of whether the printed circuit boards from Ericsson can be tested using an automatic probing system or what changes in the design are required, to be a viable solution. The main instrument used for analyzing the printed circuit board was an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope was used to get the raw data for plotting the difference between the theoretical and actual signals. Connected to the oscilloscope was a 600A-AT probe from LeCroy. The programs used for interpreting the raw data extracted from the oscilloscope included Python, Matlab and Excel. For simulations on how an extra via in the signal path would affect the end results we used HFSS and ADS. The results were extracted into different Excel sheets to get an easier overview of the results. The results showed that the design of a board must almost become completely rebuilt for the changes, and it is therefore better to implement in a new circuit board rather than in an already existing one. Some of the components have to either be smaller or placed on one side of the board, where they cannot be in the way of the probe. The size of the board will become larger since the rules of via placements will be limited compared to before. The most time demanding part was the simulations of the extra via in the signal path, and the results showed that if a single-ended signal is below two gigahertz the placing of the via does not make a big difference, but if the signal has a higher frequency the placement is mostly dependent on the type of the signal. The optimal placement is generally around four millimeters away from the receiving end.
Målet med detta examensarbete är att göra en analys av huruvida Ericssons kretskort kan testas med hjälp av ett automatiskt probe system eller om det kräver stora förändringar i designdelen av kretskorten och om, vad för förändringar det i sådant fall kan vara. Till hjälp att analysera kretskorten har vi haft oscilloskop för att få ut rådata om skillnaderna mellan de teoretiska och verkliga signalerna. För att kunna tyda oscilloskopets samplade signaler har olika programmeringsspråk som Python, Matlab samt Excel använts. En extra via i signalens väg har även simulerats i HFSS och ADS med olika sorts probar för att se hur signalens beteende påverkas. Resultaten extraherades sedan in i olika Excel ark för att få en lätt överskådlig bild av resultaten. Resultatet vi fick visade att utformningen av ett kretskort med ändringarna skulle vara lättare att göra med en ny design istället för en redan existerande då större delar av kortet skulle behöva göras om. Vissa stora komponenter behöver antingen göras om, hitta mindre men likvärdiga eller sättas på ena sidan av kortet där de inte är i vägen för proben. Kretskorten som kommer använda flygande probesystem kommer antagligen bli lite större då viornas placering är mer begränsade än tidigare. Det mest tidskrävande arbetet var att simulera olika placeringar av en extra via i signalens väg. Detta visade att på en single ended signal under två gigahertz så gör det ingen större skillnad vart i signalens väg som den extra vian placeras. Då en högre frekvens används så är själva signalens karaktär det viktigaste än placeringen av en via, men om man inte vet den exakta karaktären så är fyra millimeter bort från mottagarens sida att rekommendera då närmare placering av viorna gör att signalerna börjar störa varandra.

Abstract:
The aim of this project is to design a cost-effective planar Maxwell fish-eye lens in PCB technology operating at the center frequency 5 GHz with a bandwidth of 20 %. An approach to design a cost-effective lens is to use a metasurface, which is commonly realized as a periodic structure of unit cells. In this project, a study was made by comparing different unit cells and considering the effect of applying glide symmetry to the unit cells. Comparing different unit cells withand without glide symmetry demonstrates that glide symmetry is necessary to achieve a 20 % bandwidth. Introducing glide symmetry showed a reduction in dispersive behavior, an increaseof isotropy and effective refractive index. Simulations of the full lens show a functioning lens with a power transfer of 67 % at 5.46 GHz. In conclusion, glide symmetry will improve the performance of the lens and is necessary to fulfill the requirement of a 20 % bandwidth.

Abstract:
With the fast development of information technology (IT) industry, the demand and market volume for off-line power supplies keeps increasing, especially those for desktop, flat-panel TV, telecommunication, computer server and datacenter. An off-line power supply normally consists of electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, power factor correction (PFC) circuit and isolated DC/DC converter. Isolated DC/DC converter occupies more than half of the volume in an off-line power supply and takes the most control responsibilities, so isolated DC/DC converter is the key aspect to improve the overall performance and reduce the total cost for off-line power supply. On the other hand, of all the power supplies for industrial applications, those for the data center servers are the most performance driven, energy and cost conscious due to the large electricity consumption. The total power consumption of today's data centers is becoming noticeable. Moreover, with the increase in cloud computing and big data, energy use of data centers is expected to continue rapidly increasing in the near future. It is very challenging to design isolated DC/DC converters for datacenters since they are required to provide low-voltage high-current output and fast transient response. The LLC resonant converters have been widely used as the DC-DC converter in off-line power supplies and datacenters due to its high efficiency and hold-up capability. Using LLC converters can minimize switching losses and reduce electromagnetic interference. Almost all the high-end offline power supplies employs LLC converters as the DC/DC converter. But there are three major challenges in LLC converters. Firstly, the control characteristics of the LLC resonant converters are very complex due to the dynamics of the resonant tank. This dissertation proposes to implement a special LLC control method, state-trajectory control, with a low-cost microcontroller (MCU). And further efforts have been made to integrate all the state-trajectory control function into one MCU for high-frequency LLC converters, including start-up and short-circuit protection, fast transient response, light load efficiency improvement and SR driving. Secondly, the transformer in power supplies for IT industry is very bulky and it is very challenging to design. By pushing switching frequency up to MHz with gallium nitride (GaN) devices, the magnetics can be integrated into printed circuit board (PCB) windings. This dissertation proposes a novel matrix transformer structure and its design methodology. On the other hand, shielding technique can be employed to suppress the CM noise for PCB winding transformer. This dissertation proposes a novel shielding technique, which not only suppresses CM noise, but also improves the efficiency. The proposed transformer design and shielding technique is applied to an 800W 400V/12V LLC converter design. Thirdly, the LLC converters have sinusoidal current shape due to the nature of resonance, which has larger root mean square (RMS) of current, as well as larger conduction loss, compared to pulse width modulation (PWM) converter. This dissertation employs three-phase interleaved LLC converters to reduce the circulating energy by inter-connecting the three phases in certain way, and proposed a novel magnetic structure to integrated three inductors and three transformers into one magnetic core. By pushing switching frequency up to 1MHz, all the magnetics can be implemented with 4-layer PCB winding. Additional 2-layer shielding can be integrated to reduce CM noise. The proposed magnetic structure is applied to a 3kW 400V/12V LLC converter. This dissertation solves the challenges in analysis, digital control, magnetic design and EMI in high-frequency DC/DC converters in off-line power supplies. With the academic contribution in this dissertation, GaN devices can be successfully applied to high-frequency DC/DC converters with MHz switching frequency to achieve high efficiency, high power density, simplified but high-performance digital control and automatic manufacturing. The cost will be reduced and the performance will be improved significantly.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the design and evaluation of the meander-line antenna geometry. One standard meander-line antenna and other two non-standard meander antennas have been studied. These printed antennas are discussed with the goal of identifying which is suitable for use in a miniaturized wireless transceiver design and which is able to provide the better performance using minimal Printed Circuit Board (PCB) space. In a word, the main objective is to characterize tradeoffs and identify which antenna provides the best compromise among volume, bandwidth and efficiency.

The performance of each antenna is evaluated based on return loss, operational bandwidth, and radiation pattern characteristics. During our measurement, return loss is measured by reading the S11-port reflection coefficient on Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). This coefficient can be used to characterize how well the antenna is able to be efficiently fed. Operational bandwidth is measured as the frequency range over which the antenna keeps the value of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) or equivalently has -10dB return loss. Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is used to simulate expected characteristics which are resonant frequency, bandwidth, VSWR, and radiation pattern. HFSS is used to provide a good guide for the antenna design before the actual prototype is manufactured. Simulated results are compared with results of measurement to point out the differences and help demonstrate the practical effects on antenna performance. Radiation pattern are measured to illustrate the effects of antenna miniaturization. All the above measurements are done in the anechoic chamber.

Abstract:
Nella mia carriera universitaria mi sono imbattuto in progetti che necessitavano di un circuito elettronico che in alcuni casi costituiva una parte fondamentale e che veniva valutata. Per la realizzazione di questi circuiti è stata utilizzata l’elettronica open source, di conseguenza è stato necessario collegare tra di loro varie schede e anche alcuni componenti. Questi collegamenti non potevano essere eseguiti solo con semplici cavi elettrici ma necessitavano si supporti fisici anche per posizionare in modo ordinato i componenti e sono state utilizzate perciò basette millefori. I collegamenti eseguiti con cavi elettrici occupano spazio e rendono difficoltose le riparazioni in caso di guasto o mal funzionamento inoltre la qualità finale del circuito creato con le basette millefori sono una problematica nel realizzare circuiti per una piccola serie. Ho voluto quindi trovare una soluzione per questo, pensando a qualcosa di economico, rapido e facile da utilizzare, con una certa qualità del prodotto finale. Nella fase di ricerca ho notato che questa problematica è presente anche all’interno dei FabLab, dove la prototipazione, la personalizzazione e la piccola serie sono questioni fondamentali. Qui le tecnologie non sono poche (pantografo CNC, la stampante 3D e taglio laser) e quindi ho cercato di capire se la soluzione per risolvere il problema potesse essere già presente o derivare da quelle presenti, ponendomi in un’ottica di riciclo e riutilizzo a fine vita del circuito e dei sui componenti. La soluzione finale ne riprende la tecnologia base, le forme e i componenti fisici ed elettronici e utilizza una tipologia di materiale per la costruzione dei collegamenti tra i vari componenti elettronici, che è presente e utilizzato ampiamente all’interno dei FabLab, in varie tipologie e con varie caratteristiche. Questa può condurre corrente solo se opportunamente trattato, perché naturalmente ha l’effetto opposto cioè quello di isolare, si tratta del filamento di polimero.

Abstract:
The future power conversion system not only must meet the characteristics demanded by the load, but also have to achieve high power density with high efficiency, high ambient temperature, and high reliability. Density and efficiency are two key drivers and metrics for the advancement of power conversion technologies. Generally speaking, a high performance active device is the first force to push power density to meet the requirement of modern systems. Silicon has been a dominant material in power management since the late 1950s. However, due to continuous device optimizations and improvements in the production process, the material properties of silicon have increasingly become the limiting factor. Workarounds like the super junction stretch the limits but usually at substantial cost. The use of gallium nitride devices is gathering momentum, with a number of recent market introductions for a wide range of applications such as point-of-load (POL) converters, off-line switching power supplies, battery chargers and motor drives. GaN devices have a much lower gate charge and lower output capacitance than silicon MOSFETs and, therefore, are capable of operating at a switching frequency 10 times greater. This can significantly impact the power density of power converters, their form factor, and even current design and manufacturing practices. To realize the benefits of GaN devices resulting from significantly higher operating frequencies, a number of issues have to be addressed, such as converter topology, soft-switching technique, high frequency gate driver, high frequency magnetics, packaging, control, and thermal management. This work studies the insight switching characteristics of high-voltage GaN devices including some specific issues related to the cascode GaN. The package impact on the switching performance and device reliability will be illustrated in details. A stack-die package is proposed for cascode GaN devices to minimize the impact of package parasitic inductance on switching transition. Comparison of hard-switching and soft-switching operation is carried based on device model and experiments, which shows the necessity of soft-switching for GaN devices at high frequency. This work also addresses high dv/dt and di/dt related gate drive issues associated with the higher switching speed of GaN devices. Particularly, the conventional driving solution could fail on the high side switch in a half-bridge configuration due to relative large common-mode noise current. Two simple and effective driving methods are proposed to improve noise immunity and maintain high driving speed. Finally, this work illustrates the utilization of GaN in an emerging application, high density AC-DC adapter. Many design considerations are presented in detail. The GaN-based adapter is capable of operating at 1-2 MHz frequency with an improved efficiency up to 94%. Several design examples at different power levels, with a power density in the range of 20~35W/in3, which is a three-fold improvement over the state-of-the-art product, are successfully demonstrated. In conclusion, this work is focus on the characterization, and evaluation of GaN devices. Packaging, high frequency driving and soft-switching technique are addressed to fully explore the potential of GaN devices. High density adapters are demonstrated to show the advance of GaN device and its impact on system design.

Abstract:
This report presents the process of design and implementation of a battery charger for a Li-ion battery. The development of this battery charger includes the component from Linear Technology LTC4015. This component integrates the functions of a battery charger configured as a buck (step-down) converter. This device must be integrated in a Printed Circuit Board with a specific design. Also, it must be configured using a microcontroller named Raspberry Pi, which also performs the measurements. The method of design is divided in two parts. One is focused on developing the printed circuit board, which includes the simulation of the device and the development of the PCB, and the second one is focused on developing the program used in the microcontroller to manage the operation of the LTC4015. The result is a charge controller device that can be used with different configurations with a buck converter topology. The different parts of the design process are the simulation, the design and the implementation. Each of these parts have a section of results in this report. The simulation section includes results obtained with LTSpice and the device LTC4020, which is a similar device to the LTC4015 but without the Maximum Power Point Tracking mode, which is not modelled in LTSpice. PV is the main power source considered to charge the battery, and is carefully studied in this project. The PV input is studied with LTSpice, first simulating the I-V curve of the schematic of the solar cell. Second, integrating a solar cell in the simulation of the LTC4015. Third, operating the device LTC4015 with a solar panel that is also characterized. The design section includes the electronic components used for the development of the board that integrates the charge controller, the LTC4015 in this case, based on the calculations performed for the requirements of the LTC4015. Finally, the implementation section includes the description of the board implemented but also the description of the configuration and measurement code. The conclusions presented in this report show that the LTC4015 is a battery buck charger with different functions that make it suitable to be used in different solar applications. Also, this report opens new future work lines, such as the full characterization of the board, the implementation of a test bench and the integration of the board in different applications for solar energy systems.

Abstract:
This master thesis will cover the prestudy, hardware selection, design and implementation of a PCI Express bridge in the M.2 form factor. The thesis subject was proposed by WISI Norden who wished to extend the functionality of their hardware using an M.2 module. The bridge fits an M-Key M.2 slot and has the dimensions 80x22 mm. It is able to communicate at speeds up to 8 Gb/s over PCI Express and 200 Mbit/s on any of the 20 LVDS/CMOS pins. The prestudy determined that an FPGA should be used and a Xilinx Artix-7 device was chosen. A PCB was designed that hosts the FPGA as well as any power, debugging and other required systems. Associated proof-of-concept software was designed to verify that the bridge operated as expected. The software proves that the bridge works but requires improvement before the bridge can be used to translate sophisticated protocols. The bridge works, with minor hardware modifications, as expected. It fulfills all design requirements set in the master thesis and the FPGA firmware uses a well-established protocol, making further development easier.

Abstract:

The goals for most of today’s receiver system are sampling at high-speed, with high resolution and with as few errors as possible. This master thesis describes the design of a high-speed sampling system with"state-of-the-art"components available on the market. The system is designed with a parallel Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture, also called time interleaving. It aims to increase the sampling speed of the system. The system described in this report uses four 12-bits ADCs in parallel. Each ADC can sample at 125 MHz and the total sampling speed will then theoretically become 500 Ms/s. The system has been implemented and manufactured on a printed circuit board (PCB). Up to four boards can be connected in parallel to get 2 Gs/s theoretically.

In an approach to increase the systems performance even further, a timing error estimation algorithm will be used on the sampled data. This algorithm estimates the timing errors that occur when sampling with non-uniform time interval between samples. After the estimations, the sampling clocks can be adjusted to correct the errors.

This thesis is concerning some ADC theory, system design and PCB implementation. It also describes how to test and measure the system’s performance. No measurement results are presented in this thesis because measurements will be done after this project. The last part of the thesis discusses future improvementsto achieve even higher performance.

Abstract:
The use of brushless motors has increased in recent years due to superior performance characteristics compared with alternatives. The operation of a brushless motor is dependent upon a separate controller which is often in the form of a printed circuit board. As such, the size and performance capability of the controller can restrict the performance of the overall motor control system so advancements of these controllers further the potential use of BLDC motors. This project outlines the design of a PCB based, sensorless motor controller for operation of a three-phase BLDC motor powered by a 24 V, high current external supply. Components used were selected to withstand an ambient temperature environment of 125 degrees C. The design for this PCB based motor control system was completed but fabrication and testing of the system was prevented by COVID-19 related restrictions that prohibited the use of necessary facilities and equipment. The detailed design including component selection, board layout, and software development is included in addition to a plan for fabrication and fundamental functional testing. Although no results are available for analysis to bring about any conclusions, a variety of design strategies and corresponding learnings hold the potential to be a source of valuable reference to the further study and development of future designs.

Abstract:

The FDR (Frequency Disturbance Recorder) is a data acquisition device for the power system. The device is portable and can be used with any residential wall outlet for frequency data collection. Furthermore, the FDR transmits calculated frequency data to the web for access by authorized users via Ethernet connection. As a result, Virginia Tech implemented Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET) with these FDR devices. FNET is a collection of identical FDRs placed in different measurement sites to allow for data integration and comparison. Frequency is an important factor for power system control and stabilization. With funding and support provided by ABB, TVA and NSF the FDRs are placed strategically all over the United States for frequency analysis, power system protection and monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to refine the current FDR hardware design and establish a new design that will physically fit all the components on one Printed Circuit Board (PCB). At the same time, the software that is to be implemented on the new board is to be kept similar if not the same as that of the current design. The current FDR uses the Axiom CME555 development board and it is interfaced to the external devices through its communication ports. Even through the CME555 board is able to meet the demands of the basic FDR operations, there are still several problems associated with this design. This paper will address some of those hardware problems, as well as propose a new board design that is specifically aimed for operations of FDR.

This work investigates three-dimensional power loop layout for application to a SiC based matrix converter, providing a symmetric, low-inductance solution. The thesis presents various layout types to achieve this design target, and details the implementation of a hybrid layout to the matrix converter phase-leg. This layout is more easily achievable with a surface-mount device package, which also offers benefits such as ease in manufacturing, and a compact package. In order to implement a surface-mount device, a PCB thermal management strategy should be utilized. An evaluation of these methods is also presented in the work. The final power loop solution that implements an aluminum nitride inlay is evaluated through simulated parasitic extraction and experimental double pulse tests. The layout achieves small, symmetric loop inductances. Finally, the full power, three-phase matrix converter demonstrates the successful implementation of this power loop layout.

In the United States, 40% primary energy consumption comes from electricity generation, which is the fastest growing form of end-use energy. Industries such as commercial airlines are increasing their use of electric energy, while phasing out the mechanical and pneumatic aircraft components, as they offer better performance and lower cost. Thus, implementation of high efficiency, electrical system can reduce energy consumption, fuel consumption and carbon emissions [1]. As more systems rely on this electric power, the conversion from one level of power (voltage and current) to another, is critical. In the quest to develop high efficiency power converters, wide bandgap semiconductor devices are being turned to. These devices, specifically Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices, offer high temperature and high voltage operation that a traditional Silicon (Si) device cannot. Coupled with fast switching transients, these metal oxide semiconductors field effect transistors (MOSFETs), could provide higher levels of efficiency and power density. This work investigates the benefits of a three-dimensional (3D) printed circuit board (PCB) layout. With this type of layout, a critical parasitic – inductance – can be minimized. As the SiC device can operate at high switching speeds, they incur higher di/dt, and dv/dt slew rates. If trace inductance is not minimal, overshoots and ringing will occur. This can be addressed by stacking PCB traces on top of one another, the induced magnetic field can be reduced. In turn, the system inductance is lowered as well. The reduction of this parameter in the system, reduces the overshoot and ringing. This particular work applies this technique to a 15kW matrix converter. This converter poses a particular design challenge as there are a large number of devices, which can lead to longer, higher inductance PCB traces. The goal of this work is to minimize the parasitic inductance in this converter for high efficiency, high power density operation.

Abstract:
Structured Light Imaging (SLI) is a means of digital reconstruction, or Three-Dimensional (3D) scanning, and has uses that span many disciplines. A projector, camera and Personal Computer (PC) are required to perform such 3D scans. Slight variances in synchronization between these three devices can cause malfunctions in the process due to the limitations of PC graphics processors as real-time systems. Previous work used a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to both drive the projector and trigger the camera, eliminating these timing issues, but still needing an external camera. This thesis proposes the incorporation of the camera with the FPGA SLI controller by means of a custom printed circuit board (PCB) design. Featuring a high speed image sensor as well as High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input and output, this PCB enables the FPGA to perform SLI scans as well as pass through HDMI video to the projector for Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) purposes. Minimizing ripple noise on the power supply by means of effective circuit design and PCB layout, realizes a compact and cost effective machine vision sensing solution.

Abstract:
Gravitational Waves (GWs) are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that propagate as waves at the speed of light while travelling basically undisturbed from the moment of their creation by accelerated masses. GWs provide unique information about astrophysical sources, such as binary systems, allowing their exploration under a wide range of masses, mass ratios and physical states inaccessible otherwise and therefore opening a new window to observe the universe. The Laser Interferometry Space Antenna (LISA) mission will be a spaceborne gravitational wave observatory that is expected to be launched in 2034. The observatory will operate a near-equilateral triangle constellation of three spacecraft in formation flying around the Sun with Earth-like orbits. The observatory will establish, for the first time, a huge laser interferometer of three arms separated by 2.5 million km at pm/ p H z sensitivity, allowing detection of GW signals in the low-frequencies (mHz) regime. Using technology proven by LISA Pathfinder and GRACE-Follow on mission, the LISA metrology system will continuously operate heterodyne laser interferometers in order to measure the stretching and squeezing of space-time coupled onto their laser links as pm-level pathlength displacements and recorded as tiny µ-cycle phase fluctuations over thousands of seconds by an on-board instrument so-called Phase Measurement System (PMS) or shortly "Phasemeter”. This master thesis investigates the thermo-mechanical design of an engineering model, currently under early phases of development, for the PMS instrument onboard the LISA S/C. The mechanical enclosure has been designed following a modular approach. Each PCB will be assembled into an individual enclosure, so future upgrades in the design without affecting the entire architecture. The thermal analysis conducted so far has concluded with the feasibility of a passive thermal management system in vacuum environments, based on heat conductivity throughout the mechanical enclosure towards the instrument baseplate. In particular, the following instrument features have been included within the analysis: 1. analog signal conditioning electronics, 2. analog-to-digital conversion, and 3. FPGA core signal processing, 4. high-phase fidelity frequency synthesis and 5. frequency distribution chain, i.e., all features with the most stringent thermal requirements of the PMS-EM architecture. Although the high-power consumption demands of the instrument, the proposed thermo-mechanical design showed a suitable implementation for reliable operation of components, below maximal specified temperature ranges, allowing safe operation of the electronics over mission lifetime. As the proposed design relies only on passive conductive heat transfer methods, it is implicit a reduction of instrument complexity, avoiding complex thermal approaches based on heat pipes distributions or active control systems. Moreover, the modular approach and thermal management system enhances the integration with adjacent modules and reduce cost when assembly the instrument within the payload. In this master thesis, it has been also designed and manufactured several mechanical enclosures, together with an active thermal management system, for preliminary prototyping of analog signal acquisition electronics. These prototypes have been tested in air, setting the thermal stability requirement at the thermal reference point (TRP). Test results have verified a thermal stability requirement below 0.1 K/Hz in order to accomplish with the stringent µ-cycle phase noise performance in the mHz frequency band. Further work will test those prototypes in Vacuum conditions, consolidating thermal modelling and noise coupling as initial precursors of the PMS-EM thermally critical module developments.

Abstract:
This thesis relates to the design and implementation of a Gysel power combiner consisting of two input ports. The design is implemented using discrete (lumped) components over the conventional transmission line architecture and operates at 100 MHz. Because of the high power requirements for the power combiner, special attention is given to the power handling capabilities of the lumped elements and the other components involved. Simulations of an S-parameter of Gysel power combiner are performed using the Advanced Design System (ADS) from Keysight Technologies. The final design of two-way Gysel power combiner using PCB toroidal inductor was implemented, simulated and optimized at centre frequency of 100 MHz. Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of Insertion loss, Return loss and Port Isolation.

With the improvement of process, the volume of chips becomes smaller as time evolves. It directly increases the power density of the electronic component. As a result, the key point of raising the reliability of the whole system and developing high-efficiency chip is how to monitor the temperature IC for real-time protection. In this study, we propose a new method to be able to monitor a point on the PCB board without sensor by using the matrix calculation and mapping of sensors build in other locations of the PCB board. In addition to reduce the amount of sensors by using such an approach, we can monitor the temperature at which it is difficult to put sensor on. With the temperature estimation model, we can turn on the Peltier Module (TE) to set up a temperature control scheme for making the chip to work in the most appropriate temperature with better performance.

Nowadays, electronic technology has been invented faster and faster, even the new applications are continuous re-evolution. In other words, the faith of new technology is to improve the working frequency performance of production to lead in the market. Therefore, IC designer and systematic development R&D would take the responsibilities and new challenge with risk to catch up the time to market. This paper is based on the systematic analysis to start introducing high speed transaction interfaces. Firstly, according to the many transaction interface specifications, there are three popular interfaces, such as LVDS, HDMI and USB2.0, that are used in the manufacturing. LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) is an emerging differential digital standard used in several communication and mixed-signal applications. LVDS is often used in the Liquid Crystal Display for high speed data transaction. Besides using in LCD, purchasing the best performance of LVDS is used in the telecommunication application. HDMI is also a new generation of high speed transaction that is applied in high-definition video and audio equipments such supporting the HDTV definition. USB2.0, that takes the responsibilities to link the data communication, is mostly used in the computers and consumer electronic. Secondly, introducing the fundamental of PCB to understand the characteristic is to reach the best impendence in high speed transaction. Moreover, sharing the PCB design skills and experience are helpfulness in the production development. In conclusion, testing and verifying the evaluated PCB then comparing the values of impedance in ideal and real conditions. Moreover, the EMC testing is also an import issue for PCB design. Therefore, the best way to solve the EMC issue is that seriously considering the EMC solution in PCB development process.

It is necessary for cost consideration to minimize the number of the used layers in PCB designs. In this thesis, the layer-aware routing process in a PCB design can be divided into layer-aware via minimization and single-layer obstacle-aware routing. In layer-aware via minimization, given a set of available layers and a set of global wires on routing nets in a PCB design, firstly, a fuzzy-clustering-based algorithm is proposed to minimize the number of the used vias in layer-aware topological via minimization. Clearly, there are a subset of complete global wires and a set of partial global wires inside an available layer. In single-layer obstacle-aware routing, given a set of global nets and a set of rectangular obstacles inside a single-layer grid-based routing plane, a heuristic routing algorithm can be further proposed to maximize the number of the routed nets in single-layer obstacle-aware routing. Compared with the combination of Cong’s k-way topological planar routing algorithm and an iterative net post-assignment, NetAssignment, in layer-aware via minimization, the experimental results show that our proposed fuzzy-clustering- based algorithm can use less CPU time to reduce 57.3% of the number of the used vias for 8 tested PCB designs on the average. Additionally, compared with Liu’s modified algorithm and Yan’s flow-based algorithm in single-layer obstacle-aware routing, the experimental results show that our proposed routing algorithm can use less CPU time to increase 3.4% and 1.8% of the routability on the routing nets for 8 tested examples on the average.

With the advance of modern technology, functions of all kinds of electronics are continuously upgraded. The design trend is for lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller product. However, to achieve multi-functions, portable size, and high performance in limited space can cause safety concern for user. Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in various forms have become an important environmental issue. In the past, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) solutions have relied heavily on the experience of engineer designing the system. In addition, for the lack of simulation software, the root problems can not be found in time. This means that the EMI problem can only be addressed at the final stage of certification test of the finished electronic products. This procedure required repeated test and retest process and will result in an increase in cost production and a prolonged time schedule for a viable product. In this thesis, the main focus is on study of the simulation and verification using the Electrical Interconnect & Packaging (EIP) with the CST software to suppress cross-talk and adapt the best way to resolve the interference problems. Through the time-domain far-field analysis and measurement, the effects of EMI under different layout design applications are examined.

In the high-speed digital circuits, the crosstalk between traces is one of the most critical factors affecting the signal integrity. Therefore, in the present work, in accordance with the design rules for signal integrity, the coupling effect between traces will be analyzed using software simulation tool. Such effect includes energy distribution due to near-field coupling. Additionally, the observed signal distortion can also be deduced from the observed eye diagram. The effect of slot structure on the change in the impedance of the signal traces was discussed using TDR. The influence of slot structure on EMI was also studied. Finally, we discuss the material properties through changing the material dielectric constant, conductivity, height and permeability to compare the efficiency of material shielding efficiency.

Now PCB (Printed circuit board) manufacture process is tedious, for example, the single or minority manufacture process, already unable to satisfy the board factory’s demands. The more accurate the process is, the more difficult it is to learn and understand. Moreover, the government introduces foreign workers, under the difference of languages, humanity and knowledge standard, the working environment is getting more and more complicated, and it would be a challenge to manage effectively and put in use on apparatus. Nowadays, most machines of PCB manufacturing process are still based on manual operations or operated by Chinese-English computer user interface which is not good enough for the working environment filled with foreign workers. This research mainly probes into the cognitive diverseness of Graphic User Interface operated by different nationalities users and tries to find out the most proper graphic interface. For example, the OSP (Organic Solderability Preservatives) processor of some PCB manufacturing figured out the requirement and practicability in graphic user interface of PCB manufacturing process by beforehand researches and surveys. The research specimens are taken by the graphic user interface of general electric equipments and information appliances. They collect the Graphic User Interfaces operated in the market now and then adjust a suite of graphics user interfaces which fit OSP processors. Compile general icons and then design a suite Graphics User Interface which satisfies different foreign workers. The result of this study working on different foreign users: 1.Graphics User Interface can reduce users’ fears on operating the machinery. 2.No matter what kind of nationality and knowledge level, the recognition and operation of the graphics user interface will be quicker and more effective. 3.According to the cognition of human sense of vision, graphics and icons are easier to be accepted and understood.

In modern industry, the monitoring force and torque is an important mission to control the output of machine. However, the measurement system of commercial torque and force sensor is built by wheatstone bridge connected by strain gauges and output to instrumentation amplifier. There are two problems in this system. The first problem is mounting strain gauges. Strain gauges have to mount on system under test. The quality of mounting strain gauges influences the results of measurement very much. The second problem is the flexibility of system design is limited by the wiring of wheatstone bridge connected by strain gauges. The research proposes a novel idea of sensor design to solve the problem of mounting strain gauges. The copper on Printed Circuit Broad (PCB) is used to design the sensing pattern which is able to correspond the direction of applied force. The designed PCB consisted of the sensing pattern, wheatstone bridge and instrumentation amplifier. This proposed design improves traditional measurement system without mounting strain gauges and removing wires from the measurement system. With reducing the influence of signal transmission and wire disturbance in measurement, the flexibility in system design can be improve. The PCB torque sensor can measure 28 Nm with resolution 60 mNm and sensitivity 16.67 k-count/Nm.

This paper investigates the thermal behaviors of PCB bonding modules for TFT-LCD panel under non-uniform temperature distribution caused by the heating process. Firstly, solid models of the PCB bonding modules are generated by commercial CAD software and then imported into commercial finite element analysis software for producing finite element meshes. The non-uniform temperature distribution and its thermal deformation in the heating process are analyzed. The results show that the PCB bonding modules would have the thermal deformation because of materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Next, this paper proposes a thermal compensated mechanism for the PCB bonding modules. When the SKD61 material is chosen as the bonding head, SUS303 as the parallel head, and Aluminum 6061-T6 as the clipping parts, the thermal deformation would be decreased effectively. Also, this paper adjusts the gap between parallel head and bonding head to decrease the thermal deformation. With a properly chosen gap value, the surface of the PCB bonding modules would be kept on a flat condition. Finally, an integrated optimum design program will be applied to search the best structural design for the PCB bonding modules with heating powers of the six specific locations chosen as design variables. The optimum design result shows that the PCB bonding modules with special designed heaters has more uniformly temperature distribution.

In PCB circuit layout design of small line pitch, line width compensation is necessary to guaranty line width error and resistance value within meet with specification for different copper thickness and dry film thickness. Since that layout design with different thickness of copper line will cause variation of lithography and etching accuracy control. In general, PCB layout design rely on empirical adjustment to achieve the consistency of line width and electrical resistance specification, and it is not reliable to achieve consistent process qualification. In this thesis we mainly focus on the study of the optimization of line width compensation under different copper thick condition

With the demand evolution of electronic products, the printed circuit board (PCB) industry technology has been improved from the previous low-tech single-sided board to the high-tech HDI one. Because Taiwan PCB industry is a customized one, the different layout, drill or stack design will have different production qualities, in which especially the reliability problems caused by delamination obtain the greatest attention. This work is primary to study the effects of PCB layout on delamination, from which the improved methods are brought up. The research is divided into three stages. In the first stage, the influences of drill hole density, board thickness, board frame pattern and drill hole type on delamination are investigated. In the second stage, two improved methods are proposed for the delamination problem, which are copper dots and through holes applied to the board. The former one is to make the heat transfer uniform over the board and the latter one is to enhance the heat transfer. The effects of these methods and their mixed scheme are analyzed in this stage. In the last stage, a feasible way is found from the results of the first two stages. This method is applied to a real PCB product and its effects are checked. From the experimental results, it can be found that the buried hole has the negative effect on the PCB reliability. Enhancing the structural strength of PCB or designing the proper heat dissipating tunnels is helpful to improve the reliability, which is verified by applying the modified method to a practical product.

The log-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) is categorized as a frequency independent antenna with linear polarization and stable gain patterns; therefore it is suitable for the source antenna in EMI/Antenna measurement. Traditional LPDA is made of metal cylinders fed by coaxial cables making the antenna heavy and difficult to fabricate. Planar printed circuit board (PCB) LPDA was proposed recently; however, its unshielded and unbalanced feeding line may cause the cross-polarization too high to be used for practical applications. In this thesis, we propose a balun-based feeding scheme integrated with the planar LPDA using the multi-layered PCB technology. In the first half of the thesis, we design a Marchand balun in a multi-layered PCB with measured amplitude and phase balance within 1.0 dB and 10 degrees respectively over the 0.66~5.71 GHz band. In the second half of this thesis, we integrate the developed balun with the planar LPDA on the same PCB. Two designs are demonstrated for the 0.8~3.2 GHz and 0.8~6.0 GHz bands respectively. Both designs show good results in the wideband impedance matching, stable broadside gain range 0~6 dBi, and the highly isolated cross-polarization of 20 dB over the entire band.

In early days, the design of circuit board of digital cameras takes DXF (Drawing Interchange File Formats) as the metafile of file delivery between electrical and mechanical departmentw. The disadvantage is that the electrical engineers have to re-check whether the electrical part is proper whenever changing the design of products. Besides, during the process of file exchanging, the version chaos would lead to parts interference. In order to solve the problem, this thesis attempts to use the format of IDF 3.0 (International Diabetes Federation 3.0) to replace DXF format as the metafile. The basic mechanism makes use of the geometric checking function of ECAD and MCAD which could decrease errors of man-made check by finding the differences of electrical parts in different versions automatically and adjust in time. On the other hand, this thesis also introduces the function of document comparison with design changing, which could aid engineers to find the changing of circuit board rapidly. It will enhance the working efficiency and abbreviate the complex man-made comparison for the designers.

This thesis presents a new type of partially reflective surface (PRS) antennas for high gain applications. This single-fed antenna was designed and fabricated with Printed Circuit Board(PCB) technology. The antenna was fed by a patch and covered by a PRS which consist of periodic partitions in radical and lateral directions. A broadside gain of 14.8dB was obtained at the center frequency 5GHz. Another slightly modified design was fed by a circularly polarized patch generating 11dB broadside gain and 20% axial ratio bandwidth. The antenna could be miniaturized with embedded vertical walls and horizontal pads, the maximum broadside gain was dropped by around 3dB but the size reduction is 60% compared to the original design. Finally, an equivalent circuit model had been proposed by employing cylindrical transmission line equations. The wave number of the cylindrical leaky wave had been calculated and the far field patterns were predicted. The presented model achieved a very good consistency with the full wave simulated results.
