Abstract: Disclosed herein are printed circuit boards (100) with embedded solenoid filters (110A-L, 120A-K) through which signal traces (140) pass to filter unwanted noise and electromagnetic interference. A printed circuit board (100) comprises a least three layers (102, 104, 106), a solenoid embedded within the at least three layers, and at least one trace (140) extending through the solenoid. The insertion loss characteristics of the solenoid filter can be tuned by modifying the number of turns in the solenoid(s) and the width (160) of the solenoid(s). The solenoid filter may comprise multiple solenoids connected in series, with adjacent solenoids having opposite wind directions. Surface components may be included on the board to tune the insertion loss further.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are printed circuit boards with at least one signal trace situated over or under a reference plane. The reference plane includes a broadband common-mode filter that comprises looping and parallel structures etched into the reference plane. The looping structure includes an even number of side arms, and the parallel structure comprises an even number of interior arms, wherein each of the side arms extends toward the parallel structure, and each of the interior arms extends toward the looping structure. The at least one signal trace is substantially parallel to the side arms and to the interior arms, and is situated between a first half of the even number of side arms and a second half of the even number of side arms and between a first half of the even number of interior arms and a second half of the even number of interior arms.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are printed circuit boards (PCBs) (100) with patterned ground structure filters and data storage devices comprising such PCBs. Each PCB comprises a resonator (120) having an L-shape or a zig-zag shape in a plane of the printed circuit board and at least one signal trace (110). The resonator has a first dimension (122) and a second dimension (124) in the plane of the printed circuit board. A portion of the at least one signal trace is situated over the resonator and is separated by a distance from the resonator by a dielectric material. In some embodiments, at least part of the portion of the at least one signal trace extends in a same direction as the first dimension (in the case of an L-shaped resonator) or tracks the zig-zag shape of the resonator (in the case of a zig-zag-shaped resonator).
