Embodiment
Before elaborating all embodiment, be to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the structure of all parts described in the drawing and description and the application or the use of configuration detail.Be appreciated that illustrative embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in or be incorporated in other embodiment, variant and the change, and can in all sorts of ways practice or realization.In addition, except as otherwise noted, term used herein and expressing in order to describe exemplary embodiment of the present invention so that reader understanding and selecting, and be not intended to be construed as limiting.
Consult accompanying drawing now,, show a kind of communication joint assembly 100 more specifically referring to Fig. 1.This communication joint assembly 100 comprises that a kind of all principles are used for reducing the compensation technique of crosstalking only according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, communication joint assembly 100 comprises the plug 102 that can be connected in socket 104.Socket 104 comprises that housing 106 and bracket portion are to hold the printed circuit board (PCB) (not shown).The housing 106 of socket 104 holds interval parallel-contact array closely, in order to the respective contacts of contact plug 102.When by communication joint assembly 100 transmission of electric signals, in adapter assembly, crosstalk.
Because plug 102 and socket 104 interior intervals are parallel wire closely, crosstalking mainly produces in adapter assembly.In general, crosstalking is to being coupled to the measurement of the right non-desired signal of another circuit from a circuit.The some kinds of different measurings of crosstalking have been developed to solve the problem that in the communication joint assembly, takes place.Near-end cross (NEXT) is different circuit centerings with the measurement of crosstalking of advancing with the interference signal rightabout.NEXT can calculate according to following equation: the signal voltage that NEXT=produces because of (capacitive coupling (C)+inductance coupling high (L)).Far-end cross talk (FEXT) is the measurement of crosstalking that different circuit centerings are advanced with the direction identical with interference signal.FEXT can calculate according to following equation: the signal voltage that FEXT=produces because of (capacitive coupling (C)-inductance coupling high (L)).Further specifying in U.S. Patent No. 5997358 (" 358 patent ") of the principle of crosstalking in the butt joint is open, and this patent is incorporated herein by reference.
Between being connected to all signal current carrying conductors in the plug combination that plug and cable be connected to socket, cable has distributed inductance and capacitive coupling.In addition, away from above-mentioned lead and be electrically connected between any electric conducting material of above-mentioned lead and between electric conducting material and above-mentioned lead, have capacitive coupling.
The main coupling that how schematically illustrated preferred embodiment works among Fig. 2;
Plug mainly is distributed inductance and capacitive coupling.
The NEXT compensating basin is the far-end capacitive coupling.
Receptacle connector mainly is distributed inductance and capacitive coupling.
The NEXT crosstalk zone is the far-end capacitive coupling.
The NEXT crosstalk zone is that distributed inductance and capacitive coupling combine with far-end is capacity coupled.
Difference between the coupling of distributed couplings and far-end is because they are to the different effect of NEXT and FEXT but important.
NEXT is the reflected signal that returns the cable that is connected to plug from arbitrary coupled reflection.The phase angle of each element of NEXT depend on described cable be connected to/from the distance of described element.
FEXT is the signal that marches to the cable that is connected to socket from arbitrary coupling.Therefore, from all these signals of distributed couplings no matter its position homophase how all.Yet, from the phase angle of the signal of each far-end coupling depend on far-end be coupled to/from distance to current carrying conductor.
In described embodiment, lead 3,6 form a lead to and lead 4,5 to form another leads right.Be appreciated that can under the situation that does not deviate from spirit and scope of the invention, utilize different leads to the combination and other lead right.
The compensation scheme of adapter assembly 100 comprises NEXT compensation scheme and FEXT compensation scheme.The NEXT compensation scheme preferably includes FEXT compensating basin and NEXT crosstalk zone.The NEXT compensation scheme is reduced to zero effectively with the NEXT of plug and socket under selected empty frequency.Fig. 3 is the characterization vector according to the NEXT compensation scheme of realizing on to 3,6 and 4,5 at two leads of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 3, the plug 102 of adapter assembly 100 is incorporated into bad NEXT in the circuit of adapter assembly 100 to last.Plug 102 bad NEXT comprise from inductance coupling high inductive component (Lp) and from capacity coupled capacitive component (Cp).In order to reduce the bad NEXT of plug 102, the NEXT compensating basin of adapter assembly 100 compensate component of self-capacitance coupling (C2) in the future is incorporated into the circuit of joint to last.
The size (Cp+Lp) that the size of capacitive coupling (C2) is coupled more preferably greater than plug, but have opposite polarity.In the present embodiment, the size of capacitive coupling (C2) is near the twice of the bad coupling size of socket 104.The size of NEXT depends on the size at phase angle between plug coupling and the capacitive coupling (C2) as a result.This phase angle is big more, and the NEXT that is produced is big more.Therefore expectation minimizes this phase angle.Distance between the active centre of the active centre of the crosstalk couplings of this phase angle and plug and NEXT compensating basin is proportional.
As shown in Figure 3, the NEXT compensating basin is incorporated into capacitance compensation coupling (C2) in the circuit of socket to last bad NEXT with the minimizing plug.As further described below, can by capacitor is connected on the electric interface 110 of socket 104 contacts and plug 102 contacts or near but between the selected socket contact at its reverse side, and on socket 104, realize the NEXT compensating basin.As a result, the phase angle between the bad NEXT of plug and the compensate component introduced by the NEXT compensating basin is minimized.The capacitor of NEXT crosstalk zone be connected on the electric interface 110 of receptacle connector and header contact or near circuit paths 3 and 5 and 4 and 6 between.
Referring again to Fig. 3, the header contact of adapter assembly 100 is incorporated into coupling in the circuit of adapter assembly to last.The coupling of receptacle connector comprises inductive component (L1) and capacitive component (C1).
The polarity of NEXT crosstalk couplings (C3) is identical with the coupling of plug 102, but opposite with the polarity of capacitance compensation coupling (C2).The NEXT crosstalk zone is positioned at and becomes particular phase angle part on the empty frequency with the NEXT compensating basin.In preferred embodiment, because the phase angle between the capacitive coupling (C2) of plug coupling and NEXT compensating basin is relative less, the phase angle between the capacitive coupling (C3) of the capacitive coupling of NEXT compensating basin (C2) and NEXT crosstalk zone is relative less.In order to obtain phase angle less relatively between these capacitive coupling, the length of the receptacle connector part between NEXT compensating basin and NEXT crosstalk zone is less relatively.Preferred embodiment disclosed herein minimizes this length, and try one's best and separate them with air feasiblely, and still in the receptacle connector and the power that provides enough between the header contact of installing.
As shown in Figure 2, the NEXT crosstalk zone is incorporated into crosstalk couplings (C3) on the circuit paths of joint.The NEXT crosstalk zone preferably is positioned at and becomes particular phase angle part on the empty frequency with the cable that is connected to plug.As further described below, for example, between the input of the printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB) by capacitor being connected in adapter assembly 100, can in plug 104, realize the NEXT crosstalk zone.Should be appreciated that these electric capacity can be connected between socket 104 contacts at the same position place that NEXT compensating basin electric capacity is connected.Yet they can be connected between the different conductor with reversed polarity, and the conductor length from tie point to NEXT crosstalk zone capacitor should be greater than the conductor length from tie point to NEXT compensating basin capacitor.
NEXT crosstalk zone capacitor also can be connected in the plug contact interface and be connected to receptacle connector between the cable of socket.As shown in Figure 2, be connected in the capacitor between the circuit paths 3,4 and 5,6 of PCB input by its lead-in wire, introduce the crosstalk couplings (C3) of NEXT crosstalk zone.
As further described below, the FEXT crosstalk zone comprises crosstalk couplings (Cc) and compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L).Compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) the active centre and the position of the active centre of the crosstalk couplings (Cc) of FEXT crosstalk zone preferably equidistant, and equate apart from the phase angle displacement at the electric interface of plug and socket.By the NEXT component that capacitive coupling produced in the FEXT crosstalk zone is by Cc and C LProduce, and the net value of these couplings is for equaling Cc-C LC FCZInductance compensation in the FEXT crosstalk zone best equal and opposite in direction that is coupled, and with crosstalk components (C FCZ) polarity is opposite.As a result, because the NEXT coupling equals C+L, two component (L FCZ) and (C FCZ) cancel each other out, and therefore the FEXT crosstalk zone has effect seldom to NEXT or does not act at all.
Referring to Fig. 4, to the standard plug, coupling C and L all produce and are shown crosstalking of negative (-).
In this jack design, receptacle connector has coupling C and the L that all generations are crosstalked and are negative (-).
As previously mentioned, NEXT equals the signal voltage because of coupling C+L generation, and FEXT equals the signal voltage because of coupling C-L generation.
Therefore, compare the effect of NEXT, the clean coupling effect that the plug and socket contact produces greatly reduces the effect of FEXT.Because the synergistic effect of various couplings is very successful in minimizing NEXT, identical coupling produces excessive FEXT.
Yet although the net effect of FEXT crosstalk zone is zero on NEXT, it has the advantageous effects that reduces FEXT.
In the example of the present embodiment of being set forth, the clean capacitive coupling of FEXT crosstalk zone is C FCZAnd it is to crosstalk and have negative (-) number.
The inductance coupling high of FEXT crosstalk zone is L FCZ, and it is compensation and has positive sign (+).
Influence coupling=C of NEXT FCZ+ L FCZ=-.944pF+.948pF*=0
Influence coupling=C of FEXT FCZ-L FCZ=-.944Pf-.948pF*=1.892pF
* pF is equivalent to L FCZNH
The FEXT crosstalk zone has been derived as the size of the net effect of FEXT and has been approximately equal to the plug and socket contact compares the NEXT effect to the net effect of FEXT effect loss.
When producing FEXT, the phase angle displacement between each element equals the twice of the distance (in the phase angle displacement) from the signal path to the element.In this embodiment, these phase angles are less relatively, and therefore FEXT is less relatively.
The inductance coupling high partial L of FEXT crosstalk zone FCZGoing up adjacent current carrying conductor by PCB produces.This is not a purpose of design, but these leads also produce the capacitive coupling of minimum except that inductance coupling high.Coupling is opposite and just be designated as in the polarity of these two kinds of couplings and the plug.This capacitive coupling is represented as C L
The main capacitive coupling of FEXT crosstalk zone partly is by producing as the integration section of PCB and the capacitor board that is wired to the current carrying conductor in the above-mentioned inductance coupling high part.Connect lead and be connected in select location, and have designated length to guarantee from the displacement of the phase angle of plug contact interface to L FCZAnd L FCZEquate.
This capacitive coupling is expressed as Cc.
The size of Cc makes Cc-C L=C FCZ=be equal to the L that represents with pF FCZSize.
Referring to Fig. 2, FEXT is the signal that marches to the cable that is connected to plug from arbitrary coupling.Therefore, no matter where be in, from all these signal homophases of distributed couplings.Yet, from the phase angle of the signal of each far-end coupling depend on far-end be coupled to/from the distance of current carrying conductor.
Referring again to Fig. 4, to compare with Fig. 3, the size of clean plug vector reduces.The size of clean receptacle connector vector reduces.It no longer is zero that three components of FEXT crosstalk zone add up to.They are effective now.
Referring to Fig. 4, all distributed couplings are homophase each other, and the coupling of all far-ends have the distributed couplings of lagging behind the phase angle.
Can be by realizing the FEXT crosstalk zone in the printed circuit board (PCB) at socket at the electric capacity that connects selected size between the circuit paths and producing mutual inductance between the adjacent circuit path.By circuit paths 3,5 being placed to each other apart from being a selected distance and circuit paths 4,6 is placed to each other apart from being a selected distance, and on printed circuit board (PCB), produce the inductance coupling high of FEXT crosstalk zone.As shown in Figure 8, capacitor is apart from input one selected distance of printed circuit board (PCB) and be connected between 3,6 and 4,5.
The NEXT that is produced by the FEXT crosstalk zone is self-cancelling as mentioned above.The coupling effect of FEXT is determined in the same manner by distributed couplings and far-end coupling, and no matter they along the position of signal path how.Therefore, the FEXT crosstalk zone can be positioned at from the NEXT compensating basin any suitable distance, and NEXT or FEXT performance are reduced.
Plug is the standard plug that must use, and it comprises inductance and capacitive coupling.
It is short and mechanically firm that contact is designed to length.The result is that they comprise inductance and capacitive cross-talk coupling.Can design longer and more complicated contact so that it has minimum inductance coupling high or inductance compensation coupling, but such somewhat complex design can't improve superior results of the present invention.
NEXT compensating basin design provides the minimum phase angle from the interface of plug contact to the active centre of NEXT compensating basin to change.Because the simple replacement design with inductance coupling high can increase the change at phase angle, the coupling of NEXT compensating basin is a plenary capacitance.The design of NEXT compensating basin allows minimum NEXT to realize, and it is one of most important element of the present invention.
The NEXT crosstalk zone only provides capacitive coupling.Because it provides required balance to minimize NEXT and not have adverse effect to FEXT, this is an optimal design.
More than She Ji result is:
It provides minimum NEXT; And
It provides relatively large FEXT.
This combination results a problem, yet the interpolation of FEXT crosstalk zone has solved this problem because it is invalid to NEXT, and very effective to FEXT.
The FEXT crosstalk zone also is one of most important element of the present invention, and combines with unique compensating basin, and is this in conjunction with producing very important technique effect.
The FEXT crosstalk zone design parameter that this paper provided causes less relatively FEXT; Yet, can consider to reduce FEXT by changing design parameter.
Example is by lead 3 being placed on the lead 5 but not adjacent with it and lead 6 placed on the lead 4 but not adjacent with it, thereby makes C LIncrease.Along with C LIncrease, Cc must increase.Since the phase angle of Cc from NEXT compensating basin C2 than Cc more near 180 °, therefore can reduce FEXT.
Another example is the length that increases lead 3,5 and 4,6, and these leads are separated to keep L FCZIdentical.Because Cc must be positioned at the center of FEXT crosstalk zone, the distance from current path to far-end Cc must increase, and this will change its phase angle and make it the best.
In one embodiment, the component parameter of this compensation scheme of being realized by adapter assembly provides as follows:
Plug:
Cp+Lp=is equivalent to-1.472pF
Cp-Lp=is equivalent to-0.111pF
Wherein Lp is the inductance coupling high of standard plug, and Cp is the capacitive coupling of standard plug.

As skilled in the art to understand, the big I of the component value of compensation scheme changes near its initial determined value, is used for fine setting.Although present embodiment be applied to adapter assembly to 3,6 and 4,5, be appreciated that principle as herein described applicable to other of electric connection to combination, socket for example.
Referring now to Fig. 5-7,, shows the electric connection that realization compensation scheme according to the present invention is crosstalked with minimizing.Electric connection is preferably socket 200.Socket 200 minimizes the phase angle to be delayed, with by bad crosstalking is being incorporated into plug contact interface place with crosstalk compensation when being incorporated into socket by the matching plug (not shown) and is introduced into.
Shown in Fig. 5-7, socket 200 comprises that the qualification socket holds the housing 202 of opening 204, PCB and wires carry push pedal 206 and lead protective cover 208.In described embodiment, socket 200 be according to lead to industry standard (be that lead 4 and 5 constitutes 1, lead 3 and 6 constitutes 2, lead 1 and 2 constitutes 3 and lead 7 and 8 constitute 4) 8 contact types (promptly 4 twisted wire to) joint arrangement.Socket also can expect it is the suitable socket or the joint of other type.
The contact carriage 206 of socket 200 comprises printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB) 201 and a plurality of contact 220.Contact 220 respectively has first end 222, and it is fixedly connected to the printed circuit board (PCB) 210 and second free end 224.Each contact 220 also has the contact part 226 of extending between its first and second end 222,224.When plug was inserted the opening 204 of housing 202, the contact part 226 of joint 200 formed electric the contact with the contact of plug.
As mentioned above, plug is introduced bad NEXT on the electric socket lead at the interface of contact 220 and plug.As the part compensation of the bad NEXT of plug, socket 200 is in the described electric capacitance compensation coupling (C2) of introducing at the interface.As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, the capacitance compensation of NEXT compensating basin coupling (C2) is preferably provided by flexible print circuit capacitor 230,232, and they are connected in the downside of the contact part 226 of contact 220 with flexible arm.
In described embodiment, capacitor 230 links to each other across contact 220 with 232, contact 220 be connected to lead to 1 (lead 3 and 5) and lead to 2 (leads 4 and 6). Capacitor 230 and 232 is installed by the flexible print circuit capacitor board is electrically connected in respective contacts 220.Be appreciated that capacitor can be realized by any suitable capacity cell.Because capacitance compensation part (C2) is connected in described plug contact interface and because the distance from described plug contact interface to electric capacity active centre is minimized, the phase angle between the bad NEXT of plug and the NEXT compensation coupling (C2) is minimized.
Referring now to Fig. 8,, shows the preferable layout of circuit lead in the printed circuit board (PCB) 210 of socket 200 or trace.Printed circuit board (PCB) 210 has front portion 250 and rear portion 252.Anterior 250 comprise the front terminal 260 of a plurality of 1-8 of being designated as, and the rear portion 252 of printed circuit board (PCB) 210 comprises the rear terminal 262 of a plurality of 1-8 of being designated as.For ease of explanation, only be illustrated in the circuit paths between the rear terminal 262 (being designated as 3-6) on front terminal 260 (being designated as 3-6) and the rear portion 252 in the drawings.As shown in Figure 6, insulation displacement contact (IDC) is installed in each rear terminal 262.IDC 270 is connected electrically to front terminal 260 by the circuit paths on the printed circuit board (PCB) 210.
According to the teaching of ' 358 patent, the ad-hoc location of socket 200 on the circuit paths of NEXT crosstalk zone place joint introduced and crosstalked or counter-bonification coupling (C3).As shown in Figure 8, the capacitance compensation component C3 of the NEXT crosstalk zone of socket 200 is introduced by capacitor 280 and 282.
Capacitor 280 links to each other with rear terminal 5,6 across the front terminal 3,4 of the printed circuit board (PCB) 210 of socket 200 respectively with 282, and preferably is made of parallel conductive plates.Be appreciated that capacitor 280 and 282 can be the discrete component such as capacitor, or any other suitable capacity cell.For example, capacitor can constitute on the same one deck of circuit board or different layers, and the shape of capacitor or type can change.
The printed circuit board (PCB) 210 of socket 200 is realized FEXT crosstalk scheme or FEXT district, to reduce or to offset the FEXT that plug makes up.
The FEXT compensation scheme is with crosstalk capacitance coupling (Cc) and inductance and capacitance compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) be incorporated on the circuit paths of printed circuit board (PCB) 210.The capacitance compensation coupling Cc of FEXT crosstalk zone is introduced by capacitor 290,292, and compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) produce by the current-carrying circuit paths is positioned in close.Note, can adjust the thickness of trace or the distance between cross sectional dimensions and lead and the trace or spacing to obtain required coupling.
As shown in Figure 8, capacitor 290 links to each other with 4,6 ground across terminal 3,5 respectively near the front terminal of the printed circuit board (PCB) 210 of socket 200 with 292.Each capacitor 290,292 preferably is made of parallel conductive plates, but also can be realized by other suitable capacity cell.
Compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) the active centre and the position of the active centre of the capacitive cross-talk of crosstalk zone coupling (Cc) preferably equidistant, and move equal from the phase angle at the electric interface of plug and socket.
It should be noted that inductance compensation coupling (L FCZ) generation introduce and to have and inductance coupling high L FCZCapacitive coupling (the C of identical polar L).Yet the size of compensation coupling (Cc) is designed to can offset C when producing NEXT LCoupling and inductance coupling high (L FCZ).C FCZ=Cc-C L。As a result, compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) equal and opposite in direction preferably, and crosstalk components (Cc) had opposite polarity.Therefore, two component (L FCZ) and (C FCZ) can when NEXT produces, offset separately.
IDC is designed to make their effect minimums to NEXT and FEXT.Their effect can be left in the basket.
Layout shown in Fig. 8 is effectively when compensation forward direction FEXT, and can not have a negative impact to forward direction NEXT (promptly as observed NEXT when the cable that is connected in plug receives drive signal).Because compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) the active centre and the active centre of the capacitive cross-talk of crosstalk zone coupling (Cc) be designed to the electric interface of plug and socket equidistantly, inductance that the FEXT crosstalk zone is produced and capacitive coupling vector are in position, same phase angle with regard to it with regard to the effect of forward direction NEXT.
For reverse NEXT (promptly when by IDC observed NEXT when the cable of the end opposite with plug that be connected to socket receives drive signal), compensation coupling (L FCZAnd C L) the active centre and the electric interface of the active centre of the capacitive cross-talk of crosstalk zone coupling (Cc) and plug and socket not equidistant.This is because asymmetric because of the physics that uses far-end capacitive coupling 290 and 292 to produce in Fig. 8 trace layout.As a result, the inductance of FEXT crosstalk zone will be positioned at different positions, phase angle with the capacitive coupling vector, thereby reverse NEXT is had a negative impact.
Fig. 9 is the plane graph that has apart from the layout of the substituting PCB 550 of the coupling of all directions symmetry, thus the FEXT compensation is provided and can to forward direction or oppositely NEXT not cause adverse effect.PCB 550 comprises front portion 552 and rear portion 554.Anterior 552 comprise a plurality of front terminals 560 that are designated as 1-8, and rear portion 554 comprises a plurality of rear terminal 562 that indicate 1-8.The same with Fig. 8 example, the circuit paths between front terminal (being designated as 3-6) and the rear terminal (being designated as 3-6) only is shown.In addition, for clarity sake from Fig. 9, saved the NEXT crosstalk zone.
Similar to the PCB 210 of Fig. 8, the FEXT crosstalk zone of PCB 550 is used distributed inductance coupling (that is, making trace level or vertically closely setting each other there).Yet different with the PCB 210 that uses far-end capacitive coupling (plane-parallel capacitor 290 and 292), PCB 550 utilizes distributed capacitor coupling 590, and it takes to be widened to the form near the local overlapping trace of distributed parallel-plate.As a result, the coupling vector just is positioned at identical position, phase angle with regard to the effect of forward direction and reverse NEXT.Therefore, the FEXT compensating basin is of value to FEXT, is neutral to forward direction and reverse NEXT simultaneously.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 are respectively the sectional views of the PCB 550 that dissects along Fig. 9 line A-A and B-B.The trace corresponding with trace 3,4,5,6 is illustrated as one of four internal layers that traverse PCB 550.Course provided at interval expectation capacitance interval and the inductance coupling high effect that suitable FEXT compensates in this minute.
Although Fig. 9-Figure 11 illustrates a kind of of symmetrical FEXT compensating basin and may realize, also can use other realization and do not break away from expected range of the present invention.For example, can use the trace of different length and configuration.Similarly, also can adopt difformity and configuration to distributed capacitor.
Referring now to Figure 12 and Figure 13,, illustrate according to the present invention and realize that identical compensation scheme is to reduce another electric connection 300 of NEXT and FEXT.Electric connection 300 is substantially similar to aforementioned electric joint 200, except the connection between socket and the cable that is attached thereto is configured to " perforation (punchdown) downwards " design.The assembly of corresponding with those assemblies of the electric connection 200 of Fig. 5 basically electric connection 300 is with the expression of 300 (three-hundred) series.Like this, electric connection 300 to further describe understanding the present invention fully be unnecessary.
Method and apparatus of the present invention provides a kind of compensation technique with the NEXT and the FEXT that offset or minimizing is produced by electric connection.Especially, compensation scheme will compensate and crosstalk couplings is incorporated in the electrical path of electric connection, to reduce or counteracting crosstalking only by the plug combination results.
In described embodiment, capacitor 230 with 232 across 1 (lead 3,5) and lead being connected the contact 220 that 2 (leads 4,6) link to each other with lead. Electric capacity 230 and 232 is installed by the flexible print circuit conductive plate is electrically connected in respective contacts 220.Be appreciated that capacitor can be by any suitable capacity cell realization.Because capacitance compensation assembly (C 2) be connected on the described interface and the distance from described interface to electric capacity active centre is minimized, at the bad NEXT and the NEXT compensation coupling (C of plug 2) between the phase angle be minimized.
