Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional common mode chokes with high magnetic permeability lose effectiveness during high-frequency data transmission, failing to adequately suppress common mode noise in electronic devices, which interferes with wireless communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A 3D EMI suppression structure is implemented in a multilayer substrate, featuring a coplanar waveguide with conducting wire bands and ground parts isolated by grooves, an isolation layer connecting the wire band, and a resonance layer with conductor parts, forming inductive and capacitive effects to suppress common mode noise in differential signal transmission lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a common mode choke with high magnetic permeability is used to suppress common mode noise, then EMI suppression is improved at low frequencies, but the magnetic core loses magnetic permeability at high frequencies, making it ineffective for high-speed data transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommon mode noise suppressionVSAvoideffectiveness at high frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the suppression mechanism from magnetic permeability-based (frequency-dependent) to geometric resonance-based (frequency-independent). By adjusting the physical dimensions (length and width) of the coplanar waveguide and resonance layer, the structure achieves common mode noise suppression across a broad frequency range including high frequencies, without relying on magnetic material properties that degrade at high frequencies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the magnetic core-based mechanical filtering system with an electromagnetic resonance-based system using coplanar waveguide structures. This substitution eliminates the frequency limitations of magnetic materials while maintaining effective common mode noise suppression through carefully designed geometric parameters and resonance effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional shielding or grounding methods are used for radiated EMI, then EMI removal is achieved, but these methods are ineffective for conducted EMI transmitted through power or signal lines

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradiated EMI suppressionVSAvoidapplicability to conducted EMI
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The coplanar waveguide structure serves multiple functions: it acts as both a transmission line for differential signals and a common mode noise filter. The same structure that guides the desired signal also provides the resonance mechanism for suppressing common mode noise, eliminating the need for separate filtering components and making the solution applicable to both radiated and conducted EMI scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
