Abstract:
Disclosed herein are dual-spiral common-mode filters, printed circuit boards (PCBs) comprising such dual-spiral common-mode filters, and devices comprising such dual-spiral common-mode filters and PCBs. A dual-spiral common-mode filter is patterned into the reference plane of a PCB. The dual-spiral common-mode filter comprises a first spiral portion connected to a second spiral portion. The spiral portions may be substantially identical, or mirror images of each other, or different from each other. One or more signal traces in a signal trace layer of the PCB pass over the dual-spiral common-mode filter. The disclosed dual-spiral common-mode filters can replace both conventional patterned ground structure (PGS) filters used for radio-frequency interference mitigation and the cutouts often used in the reference plane of a PCB to mitigate impedance mismatches due to DC blocking capacitors. Also disclosed herein are methods of making PCBs that include dual-spiral common-mode filters.
