If the pour gets too close to the traces, it drives their impedance down. Any good field solver based tool will show you how much. -----Original Message----- From: Hithesh Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 11:28 AM To: SI-List Subject: [SI-LIST] Diff pair Impedance question Let's say you are routing diff pairs as Microstrips and you have ground pour on the top and bottom layers. Does the ground pour make the diff pair traces Coplanar wave guides? Does the CPW affect the trace impedance. -Hithesh ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ----- No virus found in this message.
