Summary: 
We have thoroughly investigated the effect of on-chip decoupling capacitors on the simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and the radiated emission. Furthermore, we have successfully demonstrated an efficient design method for on-chip decoupling capacitors on an 8-bit microcontroller without increasing the die size, which results in more than 10 dB of suppressed radiated emission.
