Abstract:
An attenuation reduction grounding pattern structure for connection pads of a flexible circuit board includes a plurality of high frequency connection pads formed on a component surface of a substrate and a plurality of differential mode signal lines arranged on the substrate and connected to the high frequency connection pads. The substrate has a grounding surface forming a grounding layer. The grounding layer includes an attenuation reduction grounding pattern structure formed at a location corresponding to the transition zone and including a hollowed area and a protruded portion. The protruded portion extends a predetermined length in a direction from the grounding layer toward the high frequency connection pads and along the adjacent high frequency connection pads to reach the transition zone. The protruded portion and the high frequency connection pads form a polarization-direction-varying electric field in the transition zone.
