[SI-LIST] Re: Right Angle Bends

From my experience (I also get that statement from my customers) it comes from 
the thinking that on a right angle bend the signal would "see" a larger trace 
width when crossing "the bend" and because of this different trace width it 
will have a different impedance at that point so there is a discontinuity that 
is bad for the signal.

I remember an old conference paper showing no measureable effects to 10 Ghz but 
I cannot find it again.

I would be interested if anyone know of a good up to date reference (with 
measurements) that I can also send to my customers when they have the same 
statement.

Does anyone know the origin of the myth that right angle bends cause signal 
integrity problems?

I though this myth had died a long time ago, but had a conversation last week 
with a well known fabricator who was told by a customer that right angle bends 
were a no no.

This was a customer who should know better.
