I’m designing a 2-layer PCB where the top layer is densely packed with through-hole and surface-mount components, while the bottom layer has minimal routing. From an EMI/EMC perspective, which ground plane strategy would be theoretically optimal: Ground plane (copper pour) on the top layer only Ground plane (copper pour) on the bottom layer only Ground planes on both layers with stitching vias I believe option 2 might be superior since it provides low-impedance return paths and minim...| SierraConnect
Hi, I have the books by Archambeault, Ott, Morrison, Young and countless application notes. I can recite Maxwell’s equations by heart and I know of the Telegraphers equations. However, I would like, if someone can point me to it, a reference to a paper or book that shows the mathematics behind what people talk about when they say “the signal is in the field not in the conductor”. I have researched the Poynting vector and what that means and believe it or not there is still discussion ab...| SierraConnect
