• Abstract• A method for multiplexing to 100GB/s data• Medium and connectors• Testing the Microstrip-Line• Components and suitable devices• The Road up ahead • Gant Timeline
Pointing out the target
• The idea of the project is to be able to transfer energy through microstrip between two units located on the same motherboard at 100GB/s
• Our main goal is designing the medium and suggesting a theoretical way to test and characterize it. e.g. : Internal Loss, propagation time, Signal integrity,…
A method for multiplexing data
Sharpening the signal Reducing
tr/tf
Reducing the bit time
to 10ps
Adding Different delay to
each channel
Buffer
Sigma: Adding all of the 4 narrow signals
25GB/s100GB/s
A method for multiplexing data
• Sharpening subunit
• Reducing the bit time to 10ps
A method for multiplexing data
• Delay can be achieved by different techniques.
• Lengthening the Microstrip, adding dummy capacitance, Digital delay (buffers),…
• The buffers are to restore the signals power.
• Finally adding all the signals by a simple combiner
Medium and ConnectorsOur focus will be on a 15cm length
medium connecting two units on a motherboard
We choose to use Microstirp technology since it’s the most
suitable for the short distance
Medium and Connectors
• Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated using PCB technology.
• The configuration of the microstrip will be such that the conductor is surrounded by metallic planes, as in a tunnel.
Medium and Connectors
• What is a good dielectric material in such high frequency?
Duroid 5580
• What’s the definition of “good”?Isotropic Uniform over volume Low dielectric constantLow electrical loss
• Duroid 5580 manufactured by Rogers Corporation

Uniform over volume
All the measurements range to 10 GHz in IPC-TM-2.5.5.5
Testing the µ-strip Line
• We expect to get greater internal loss in high frequency:
• Typical Duroid loss = 0.3 dB/λ µ-strip Line length=50* λ Total loss=15dB
• We need few points in order to characterize the losses of the µ-strip Line

Testing the microstrip
To check IL we build the following configuration
Testing the microstrip
• In order to check SI we build the following configuration:
Components and Suitable DevicesEVA-ADF4350 with an integrated PLL is
the supposed unit to generate a stable 0.5:4.4 GHz signal
We deal with this unit as a black box with given parameters
It’s supposed to be the source signal for the microstrip test circuit
Output frequency fixed on 4.16GHz
Components and Suitable Devices• We’ve checked a lot of companies such as
Hittite, Millitec, TriQuint, Ducommun, Miteq…
• We’ll show samples of such devices that are relevant to build the testing diagram
• There are also a lot of devices which will be cataloged by the end of the project.

The Road up Ahead
• Designing a Microstrip line: length, width, resistance, dielectric material, …
• Using the EVA-ADF4530 board in order to test the signal generator and the scope
• Drawing conclusions and projecting them to advance the upcoming technology
• Keep an eye for additional suitable devices and materials
