According to my experience=2C 1MHz should be cared=2C which is the freque=
ncy not the signal speed=2E However=2C the exact frequency depends on the=
 stack-up of the PCB=2E

In low frequency domain=2C the resistive impedance is large=2E The power =
or ground plane should not be used=2E Single-ground should be applied=2E =
Otherwise=2C there is resistive coupling=2E

If the return path is needed=2C a testing board could be made=2C which is=
 of two-layer=2E The top is for signal and the bottom is for ground=2E A =
maganetic probe is applied to measure the tangent H on the ground plane=2C=
 where J=3DH=2E We have used this kind of PCB to study the return path of=
 signal of 2MHz=2E Maybe in the low frequency=2C the H is difficult to be=
 measured=2E

Hope this is helpful=2E

=3E Hello Everybody=2C

=3E I was reading one of the IEEE paper on topic =22EMC Analysis=22 by Dr=

=3E Tom Van=2E He says that Return current takes the least impedance =

=3E Ground Plane because even if you have Power Plane=2C the return =

=3E current will not effectively utilize the plane=2E So my question is=2C=

=3E how we should decide at what signal speed we should use Plane area =

=3E for Power and Ground=2E Is there is any specific formula for that=2E =
