Abstract
The electric asymmetry of a pair of differential transmission lines placed near an adjacent ground edge causes unwanted electromagnetic radiation when the adjacent ground width changes. In this paper, the imbalance difference model which has been proposed by the authors is verified by experiment and full-wave simulation for asymmetric differential transmission lines at different distances from the adjacent ground edge. The difference in secondary-common mode current in terms of the distance from the ground edge coincides with an error of up to 3 dB among the imbalance difference model, measurement, and electromagnetic simulation. Therefore the imbalance difference model has sufficient accuracy for practical use in designing differential transmission lines which produce less undesired emissions.
