PlusLee,

A plane is normally physically wider than
 a signal trace.  Since a plane is wider then the
 current distribution spreads out more across it.
Thus the number of field lines around it decreases
 and thus the self inductance decreases.=20

The combination of a power and ground plane next to
 each other in a stackup will reduce the total inductance
 of each because of the increased mutual inductance.

inductance of power plane ->

Ltotal for power plane  =3D self Lpowerplane - Lmutual   (where mutual =
is between pwr and gnd)

for more information I strongly recommend you get a book
 like Eric Bogatins "signal integrity simplified" or
 Dr Johnson's bible.

Thanks

Chris   =20

Hi, all experts,
I am a newcomer to learning SI & PI,and have some questions about =
inductance
of power, ground, and signal line.
Why the inductance of PWR&GND plane is less than signal line?
Is the series of many nets or the plane wider than signal?
thanks for your help

Best regard

PlusLee
