Hello Gert/Experts,

The discussion on the stripline reference was really good. Thanks to everyone 
for the contribution.

I have a differential pair routed on top and bottom layer(so both microstrip). 
The top layer routing has a vdd plane as reference and the bottom routing has 
gnd as reference.
I have two questions here:

1) Do you see a significant impact on performance because of different 
reference plane on different layers.
2) How do we assign ports for this differential pair? Is it ok to assign one 
side port with ground reference and other side with power reference?

Amit,

if power and GND have the same distance to the trace, then both will see 
identical coupling and the return current that flows on the Planes will be 
equal in both planes.
The Cap I mentioned is the coupling cap between Power and GND. The Return 
current on the Power plane has to go back to the signal source. Since the Power 
plane has no direct DC connection to GND, you have to establish a capacitive 
coupling to allow the current to flow back to GND. The position of these caps 
governs the "detour" you force the return current to flow. This means 
additional inductance in your path, and a great source of crosstalk. Without 
Coupling caps you will create lots of radiation as the currents will find their 
way "over the air".

I hope this helps.

BR
Gert

Hello Gert,

What if power and ground layers are equidistant from the signal layer?
Also, can you explain what do you mean by the position of the cap?

It all depends on the position of Coupling caps, the distance to each plane and 
the speed of your signal.
If you simulate, you have to take the position of the caps into account, or at 
least leave the power plane floating at each port. The model must be as close 
to reality as possible, thus only connections between planes that are really 
there should be used in simulation. And the right boundary has to be used as it 
has massive influence on the results.

Betreff: [SI-LIST] Stripline reference

Hello Experts,
I need your help.

I am extracting s-parameter of some strupline traces. These traces connect two 
flip chips on board and are routed between power and ground plane where power 
is upper plane and ground is lower plane  I am in doubt that whether I should 
take ground/power as reference or both planes as reference while assigning 
ports.

Please  reply.

Jason
