Abstract:
Disclosed in the present specification is a circuit board. The circuit board includes a first reference plane and a second reference plane, wherein the second reference plane includes a defected ground structure. The circuit board also includes a signal trace coupled to a signal via, wherein the signal trace is disposed above the first reference plane. The circuit board additionally includes a spiral inductor positioned adjacent to the defected ground structure, wherein the spiral inductor is coupled to the signal via.
Abstract:
A signal line design is described herein. A circuit board may include a first signal line and a second signal line. The first signal line includes a pair of signal lines at a first depth of a section of a circuit board, wherein a centerline extends lengthwise between the pair of signal lines. The second signal line is disposed at a second depth of the circuit board. The second signal line includes a first segment that runs parallel to the first signal line at a first displacement from the center line. The second signal line includes a second segment that runs parallel to the first signal line on the other side of the center line at a second displacement distance from the center line.
