Abstract(in English) Although symmetry is important for differential-transmission lines, the denser the wiring gets, the more the adjacent conductors affect the transmission characteristics. The dense parallel traces easily break the symmetry due to the electromagnetic coupling with the adjacent conductor placed only on one side, leading to mode conversion. In this paper, we propose an asymmetric geometry of differential-transmission lines placed on the side of no adjacent conductor to suppress mode conversion and maintain signal integrity. As a result, it was found that mode conversion in the straight parallel traces is successfully suppressed by approximately 5 dB compared to the conventional symmetric structure. On the other hand, the asymmetric geometry successfully suppressed mode conversion in the tightly coupled parallel traces with a bend, whereas the tightly coupled asymmetrically tapered bend we had so far proposed successfully suppressed mode conversion in the loosely coupled parallel traces with a bend.
