Abstract

See full text

A method amplifies a signal on a transmission line. A driver transmits an initial signal on a transmission line, which is overlaid on an Alternating Impedance-Electromagnetic BandGap (AI-EBG) structure (i.e., a reference plane) on a circuit board. The AI-EBG structure induces an alternating change to an impedance in the transmission line. The alternating change to the impedance creates a reflection signal to an initial signal on the transmission line, and the reflection signal and the initial signal combine to create an amplified signal.
