  As per the entail in wireless communication, the ever increasing switching speeds of digital devices pose significant challenges. Signal quality is more important for high speed products and the
   
  signal integrity must ensure reliable transmission where signal integrity is a measure of the quality of an electrical signal. A high speed differential signal will result in signal integrity issues such as crosstalk and radiated emission. One of the solutions to suppress radiated emission is defected ground pattern. This paper introduces a novel trident incurvature shaped defected ground structure to suppress radiated emission that arises in high speed differential signal.
   
  The proposed defected ground structure is implemented using Ansoft HFSS simulation tool and its performance is
   
  quantified in terms of scattering
   
  parameters. The proposed trident incurvature shaped defected
   
  ground pattern reduces near end
   
  coupling and far end coupling by more than 6 dB and 2 dB respectively. It also provides better return loss and insertion loss in the frequency range 1 - 6 GHz.

Introduction</title><p>The rapid growth in wireless communication has been led to the increase in frequency, consistent reduction in size and increase in the circuit complexity. Because of the complexity of the circuits, signal integrity issues posed many challenges to the circuit designers. Signal integrity addresses the issues of timing and the quality of the signal. The timing and quality of the signal are affected by the electrical impact happening at the source end, along the path and the receiving end. The noise problems present in the signal integrity are crosstalk, radiation, ringing, power/ground noise, reflections, attenuation and switching noise. The most prevalent issue in signal integrity is radiation emission which deteriorates the performance of the system. The term radiation emission refers to the unintentional release of electromagnetic energy from a device [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref1">1</xref>] . The vital reason for radiation emission is current flow and it also occurs when there is a split in a trace. The main cause for radiation emission is common mode noise. Common mode radiation and differential mode radiations occur when a differential signal crosses a slotted reference plane. Common mode current is equal in magnitude and in the same direction, whereas differential mode current is equal in magnitude and in opposite direction. There is an undesired voltage drop in a circuit that causes some parts of the system to be in common mode potential which is very hard to control than differential mode radiation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref2">2</xref>] . Several researchers and authors are projected and accordingly varied approaches to suppress common mode radiation on a printed circuit board [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref3">3</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref12">12</xref>] .</p><p>One way to reduce this electromagnetic emission is to use stitching capacitor [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref3">3</xref>] . It provides return current path of signal lines and degrades the noise or they suppress the signal distortion and decrease radiation emission. But it may cause internal reflection and resonance. By decreasing the space between the ground plane and also the signal traces, the radiation is reduced however it induces the coupling mechanism. So as to decrease the coupling, the ground guard fence was used between the microstrip lines and also the disadvantage of using that would increase the scale of the printed circuit board. It is common to introduce slots within the reference plane to supply the DC isolation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref5">5</xref>] . An asymmetrical grounded resonators technique was proposed to suppress the EMI for slot crossing differential signals. These asymmetric resonators with one end shorting to the ground plane provide economical shorting path between the split planes at totally different frequencies. The vias were used at the one end of the resonators to electrically connect the resonators and also the ground plane [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref7">7</xref>] . In this paper, a novel trident incurvature shaped DGS is introduced to reduce electromagnetic coupling without adding any additional components. Tailed E and U shaped structure and by suitably designing it, a good signal quality for the differential component is achieved. The proposed filter is compact because U shaped structure can be inserted between the tailed E shaped structures.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Radiated Emission on a Printed Circuit Board</title><p>As circuits are reduced in size, a transmission structure was needed that was compatible with circuit construction techniques to provide guided waves over restricted distances. This was realized with a planar transmission line over a ground plane, known as microstrip line. Microstrip line employs a flat strip conductor suspended above a ground plane by a low-loss dielectric material. In the microstrip line, the electromagnetic fields exist partially in the air above the dielectric substrate and partially within the substrate material itself. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref> illustrates the structure of coupled microstrip lines, in which two lines are running parallel. It may be modelled as distributed inductance and capacitance. When the input signal is applied to aggressor line, the electromagnetic coupling generates and crosstalk will be induced in the adjacent victim line [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref6">6</xref>] . This electromagnetic coupling induced at the close to the adjacent line is called near end coupling and it is induced at the far end of the adjacent line is called far end coupling. The electromagnetic coupling depends on the amount of inductive coupling and capacitive coupling.</p><p>The main source of radiated emission in high speed printed circuit board is that the common mode current. The currents on parallel conductors are often divided into two types―common mode current and differential mode current. Differential mode currents are equal in magnitude, however opposite in direction on parallel conductors. The common mode currents are equal in magnitude and in the same direction on parallel conductors. The differential and common mode currents are depicted in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>. In general, an arbitrary current on a parallel conductor system includes of differential and common mode currents.

Defected Ground Structures</title><p>Defected Ground Structure (DGS) is an intentionally produced defect in the ground plane of a transmission line. The DGS could be a deliberately carven periodic or a non periodic configuration depending on the requirement. The result of defects on a line is that it disturbs the current distribution within the ground plane. Therefore, it changes the effective capacitance and inductance of the line. DGS structures are designed in numerous shapes like square, rectangular, circular, dumbbell shaped, spiral, L-shaped, concentric ring, U-shaped, V-shaped, hairpin DGS, hexagonal DGS and cross shaped DGS are reported in the literature. Every form has its own distinct characteristics that facilitate to improve the performance of a microwave device. DGS is widely used for numerous applications in microwave devices. Because of totally different shapes in etching part, there is a modification in permittivity during return current distribution travelling in the ground trace. The space between ground and signal lines is increased by increasing the capacitance. These include efficiency improvement of power amplifier, frequency control of microstrip antenna and improving working performance of filters and power dividers. DGS has been used to provide frequency selectivity and effective parallel feedback path for an oscillator [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref3">3</xref>] . Meanwhile, DGS reduces the mutual coupling between the antenna array elements. DGS resonators are applied in a very few variety of microstrip circuits to scale back the quality and improve the performance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref8">8</xref>] .</p><p>The circuit parameters of the equivalent circuit are extracted from the simulated scattering parameters as</p><disp-formula id="scirp.69848-formula120"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x14.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><disp-formula id="scirp.69848-formula121"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x15.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><disp-formula id="scirp.69848-formula122"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x16.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>Here, <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x17.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>is the angular resonance frequency, <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x18.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>is the 3-dB cutoff angular frequency, and <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/19-7600661x19.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> is that the characteristic impedance of the microstrip line. The characteristics of the U-slot DGS like the resonance frequency, rejection bandwidth, and factor are reliant on the structural parameters of the deformity. The scale of slot length, slot width, and distance between two slots are the parameters ever-changing those exchange attributes of the DGS. Because the slot length will increase, both the equivalent capacitance and equivalent inductance increase. As the slot length increases, each the equivalent capacitance and equivalent inductance will increase. As the slot width grows, the equivalent capacitance decreases and therefore the equivalent inductance will increase, the resonance frequency slowly decreases because of the inductance increase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69848-ref10">10</xref>] , it is affirmed that the processed part increases as the slot width decreases.</p><p>The H shaped DGS is made to locate at the ground plane as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>.

It is a least complex strategy which lessens the measure of the printed circuit board. The imperfect structures give more prominent execution which is not created by other conventional technologies. The concern is to study the improvement in the radiation emission of the microstrip structure. Outline and re-enactment will be focused on finding more suitable structures for the decrease of radiation emission to the bigger degree and the structure is upgraded by a proficient improved procedure. Simulation and furthermore, estimation results indicate great concurrence with one another, checking the precision of the proposed circuit model furthermore, the prevalent execution of the proposed designed ground structure. Thus, at 6 GHz, the return loss shows a reduction of about 8 dB and near end coupling about 15 dB.
