You are correct. Stripline is always the best choice, but often Microstrip is cheaper. Stripline already gives you good isolation when the traces are 5 tracewidths and more apart, while in Microstrip the Fields are larger and often 10xtracewidth and more is needed for decent isolation. That’s also the reason why the vias don't really shield because most of the Field is in open space and do not even see the vias. BR Gert Besuchen Sie uns auf der SPS/IPC/Drives 2014 vom 25. – 27.
