HI, Experts. Suppose a differential microstrip trace pair on PCB with complete GND reference plane. I was told that the common mode on that pair casue EMI issue. But i think the differential pair, also are two independant microstrip traces. If common mode on this pair cause EMI, then a single TML also cause EMI. But a micrstrip does not cause much EMI in my limited knowledge(This assumption may be wrong). So i think the common current on PCB with complete GND reference plane does not cause EMI,it may be harmful to the differential amplifier in receiver. Thanks.
