In mobile phone, RF sensitivity problem due to memory interface noise is 
general. I think reducing processor and SDRAM I/O Buffer's driver strength by 
changing S/W may help improving BER and RF 
sensitivity. I do not know what kind of product you are designing.  Another 
solution is adding shield can around processor and SDRAM, if you have some 
space in your product. It would be more sure solution.

I'm working on an embedded product with a GSM cellular module.  The
module is picking up broadband noise in the GSM850 band (869-894 MHz) at
levels of approximately -90dBm to -100dBm from the board it is on.  The
noise is causing BER levels that are too high (fails some tests).  The
source of the noise has been tracked to a processor SDRAM bus interface
running at 75 MHz clock frequency.  This processor and SDRAM are
physically close to the GSM module on the board.  One of the many
suggestions for mitigating this problem that we are considering is to
add LC filters to all of the SDRAM data lines such as the following
example parts:
 

Murata NFM18PS105R0J3
(http://search.murata.co.jp/Ceramy/image/img/PDF/ENG/L0111S0111NFM18PS.p
df)

TDK MEA1608PH (http://www.tdk.co.jp/tefe02/e9621_mea_signal_1.pdf)

 

These parts are recommended for LCD interfaces.  Does anyone have
experience using these on SDRAM interfaces?  Is this an effective way to
solve the problem?  What considerations do we need to account for in
using them?    Has anyone modeled these parts for signal integrity
simulations?  We have been told by Murata that no model is available.
What modeling approach did you use?

 

Thanks.
