Abstrakt: Mode conversion in differential lines paired with serpentine in PCB layouts of mobile electronic devices is investigated. Different shapes and dimensions are analyzed and design of experiments based on Response Surface Model is used to study the sensitivity of various design parameters to both signal integrity and electromagnetic interference. It is found that mode conversion is negatively affected by the numbers of meanders, the length of bends and their angle. Design guidelines are provided and an alternative shape named trombone is proposed as possible solution to minimize the mode conversion while maximizing the skew matching and reducing the routing area. More than 10 dB of reduction in common mode noise is achieved in a broadband frequency range 0–10 GHz for most of the cases studied. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
