摘要： A hybrid electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure for broadband suppression of noise on printed wiring boards includes an array of coplanar patches interconnected into a grid by series inductances, and a corresponding array of shunt LC networks connecting the coplanar patches to a second conductive plane. This combination of series inductances and shunt resonant vias lowers the cutoff frequency for the fundamental stopband. The series inductances and shunt capacitances may be implemented using surface mount component technology, or printed traces. Patches may also be interconnected by coplanar coupled transmission lines. The even and odd mode impedances of the coupled lines may be increased by forming slots in the second conductive plane disposed opposite to the transmission line, lowering the cutoff frequency and increasing the bandwidth of the fundamental stopband. Coplanar EBG structures may be integrated into power distribution networks of printed wiring boards for broadband suppression of electromagnetic noise.

摘要： A method, system, and apparatus for reading RFID tags in a stack of objects is described. For example, a pallet may hold a stack of objects, with one or more of the objects coupled to a RFID tag. A RFID reader may be used to read the tags in the stack. However, tagged objects in the middle of the stack may be difficult to read due to the RF signal loss passing through objects in the stack. A waveguide may be used to guide radio waves to locations in the pallet stack. For example, the waveguide can replace a slipsheet that is conventionally placed between horizontal layers of cases in the pallet stack.

摘要： A magnetically-loaded artificial magnetic conductor surface provides enhanced bandwidth. The structure includes in one embodiment a thumbtack structure with a spacer layer that is loaded with a barium-cobalt hexaferrite based artificial magnetic material. Specifically, the geometry consists of a ground plane covered with thinly sliced ferrite tiles that are metallized and stacked. Each tile has a metal via running through its center that is electrically connected to the plated metallized surfaces. A foam spacer layer resides above the ferrite tiles. Atop the foam spacer layer rests a capacitive surface, which can be realized as a single layer array of metal patches, a multiple layer array of overlapping patches or other planar capacitive geometry.
