Abstract
Apparatus for suppressing noise and electromagnetic coupling in the printed circuit board of an electronic device includes an upper conductive plate and an array of conductive coplanar patches positioned a distance tfrom the upper conductive plate. The distance tis chosen to optimize capacitance between the conductive coplanar patches and the upper conductive plate for suppression of noise or electromagnetic coupling. The apparatus further includes a lower conductive plate a distance tfrom the array of conductive coplanar patches and conductive rods extending from respective patches to the lower conductive plate.
