Zhangkun, If the perforation holes are not much bigger than the trace width, and you have a uniform pattern of small holes, no large cut or split, the implications are: impedance goes up, crosstalk goes up. It is true that the increase of crosstalk is usually more pronounced than the mismatch. There were several papers in the past showing the increased EMI radiation from slots, and some also offered condensed equivalent circuits. Let me know if you need a short list of papers.

I use Ansoft to analyze this problem. I find, when there is a slot in the reference plane but and the reference plane is not cut, the S21 is not affectted seriously comparing with the S21 when the reference plane is integral. > > Could you give me some advice? > > Best Regards > > Zhangkun > 2003.12.29 > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > To unsubscribe from si-list: > si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field > > or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: > //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list > > For help: > si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field > > List technical documents are available at: > http://www.si-list.org > > List archives are viewable at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list > or at our remote archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages > Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
