Measurements and Simulations of Magnetic Field Sensors on PCB

In the last decade, the progress of personal computer is growing very fast. The frequency of signals on mother boards applies between 33MHz and 1GHz. Due to the high operating frequency, the radiation from the microstrip lines on PCB should be noticed when designing the PCB¡¦s layout. The solution is using solenoidal and rogowski coils which have been investigated for many years. Coils, however, not only can be used in RF inductors, but also induce currents due to magnetic field through the cross section wound in turns. Therefore, coils may be used to induce magnetic field. Using this phenomenon, intensity of currents on DUT(Device Under Test) could be measured as well. In order to make more extensive use, optimization routines on the basis of the model were found.
This thesis shows that magnetic field sensors on silicon and PCB can be studied in a better model, simulated by the software, Ansoft HFSS. Simple accurate expressions, an equivalent circuit model, and the transfer impedance are presented. As a result, induction of magnetic field on silicon is demonstrated in the area enclosed by turns, the parasitic capacitance or inductance, and conductor resistance, which is due to the skin effect in the high frequency. Hence, coils can induce large current because of big cross section. We can use it to measure the magnetic field and the currents radiated by the microstrip on PCB. In this thesis, I will show a novel PCB sensor which can measure 100MHz to 4 GHz signals and it has large output signal as well. The advantages of these coils are less disturbing DUT and easy to produce. It proves that we can use these magnetic field sensors to help solving the EMI problems.
