Modeling and analysis of return-current paths for microstrip-to-microstrip via transitions
Abstract
In this contribution, the return-current paths for single-ended microstrip-to-microstrip via transitions in conventional layer stack-ups are modeled and analyzed. Electromagnetic Reliability (EMR) problems which occur in these layer stack-ups, because the return-currents are not properly managed are discussed. Finally, a layer stack-up with well defined return-current paths, which overcomes the limitations of traditional layer stack-ups, is proposed.
