Abstract:
A method of improving electrical isolation between a first circuit and a second circuit sharing a common substrate having an effective dielectric constant greater than that of air. The first and second circuits are spaced apart and separated from one another by an intermediate portion of the substrate. The method includes removing a portion of the intermediate portion to replace the portion removed with air thereby reducing the effective dielectric constant of the intermediate portion. By reducing the effective dielectric constant of the intermediate portion, electrical isolation between the first and second circuits is improved thereby reducing crosstalk between the first and second circuits. In particular implementations, the method may be used to reduce alien crosstalk between adjacent communication outlets in a patch panel.

Abstract:
A circuit board includes layers, a pair of vias filled with a conductive material and extending through the layers, first and second pairs of conductive signal paths, and holes extending at least partially through the layers and located between the pair of vias. The first pair of conductive paths is connected to the pair of vias within a first layer; the second pair of conductive paths is connected to the pair of vias within a second layer. The pair of vias has a pair of via stubs defined between the second layer and a bottom layer. A differential signal is to be transmitted between the first and second pairs of conductive signal paths via the pair of vias. The holes have a lower dielectric constant than the layers to increase a resonant frequency of the pair of via stubs beyond the frequency of the differential signal.
Abstract:
A highly efficient, single sided circuit board layout design providing magnetic field self-cancellation and reduced parasitic inductance independent of board thickness. The low profile power loop extends through active and passive devices on the top layer of the circuit board, with vias connecting the power loop to a return path in an inner layer of the board. The magnetic effect of the portion of the power loop on the top layer is reduced by locating the inner layer return path directly underneath the power loop path on the top layer.

Abstract:
The disclosure provides a non-contact power receiving apparatus including a conductive pattern in a second region of a substrate not covered by a magnetic sheet. The conductive pattern includes first and second electrodes provided in a first plane parallel to a surface of the substrate and arranged in a length direction of the conductive pattern. A third electrode is formed on a second plane parallel with the first plane. A first via hole connects superposed portions of the first and third electrodes to each other, and a second via hole connects superposed portions of the second and third electrodes to each other. As a result, loops of eddy currents generated in the conductive pattern can be made to be small, whereby eddy current loss can be reduced.

The power supply line is formed in the plate-like member between the semiconductor device and the power supply circuit, and supplies the power supply voltage output from the power supply circuit to the semiconductor device. The ground line is formed in the plate-like member between the semiconductor device and the power supply circuit, and supplies the ground voltage output from the power supply circuit to the semiconductor device.
Abstract:
A mirror image shielding structure is provided, which includes an electronic element and a ground shielding plane below the electronic element. The shape of the ground shielding plane is identical to the projection shape of the electronic element, and the horizontal size of the ground shielding plane is greater than or equal to that of the electronic element. Thus, the parasitic effect between the electronic element and the ground shielding plane is effectively reduced, and the vertical coupling effect between electronic elements is also reduced. Furthermore, the vertical impact on the signal integrity of the embedded elements caused by the layout of the transmission lines is prevented.
