Abstract:
There may be provided a fastener arrangement. The fastener arrangement may include a first fastener tape including a first plurality of electrically conductive coupling elements and a first plurality of non-electrically conductive coupling elements. The fastener arrangement may further include a second fastener tape comprising a second plurality of electrically conductive coupling elements and a second plurality of non-electrically conductive coupling element. The fastener arrangement may further include a slider couplable to the first fastener tape and the second fastener tape for reversibly interleaving and interlocking the first plurality of electrically conductive and non-electrically conductive coupling elements with their corresponding second plurality of electrically conductive and non-electrically conductive elements. The interleaved and interlocked first and second plurality of electrically conductive coupling elements may form a plurality of conductive-bridges and the interleaved and interlocked first and second plurality of non-electrically conductive coupling elements may form a plurality of insulation-bridges.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a pre-driver coupled to a transmitter, the transmitter having a differential output; and a tuning circuit operable to couple to the differential output to tune the pre-driver of the transmitter according to a common mode noise signature of a common mode signal derived from the differential output.
Abstract:
Differential signal skew compensation techniques for radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation with no reflection penalty and associated apparatus and methods. A differential pair of signal traces are formed on or in a PCB having at least two changes in direction, with a first signal trace having a first routing path defining a first length and a second signal trace adjacent to the first signal trace including one or more tuning structures that are configured such that the length of the second signal trace matches the first length. Segments of the first signal trace adjacent to the one or more tuning structures of the second signal trace are widened relative to other segments of the first signal trace. The tuning structures may comprise sawtooth structures, accordion structures and other serpentine or meander structures. The solution mitigates RFI without a reflection penalty.
