Elements in a fast communication channel 100GB/s Midterm Presentation Spring 2010 By: Hanna Alam and YousefBadran Project supervised by: YossiHipsh
Contents • 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 25GB/s 100GB/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 Connectors • Our 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 constant • Low electrical loss • Duroid 5580 manufactured by Rogers Corporation
Duroid 5580 • 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 Internal Loss [dB] f[GHz]
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 Devices • EVA-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
