7 best practices for designing vias in #RFPCBs ♦️1. Design the via to maintain low return loss at the input, especially when dealing with wide bandwidths extending into the GHz range. ♦️2. Ensure the presence of vias does not negatively impact the insertion loss. While insertion loss is not usually the focal point for vias, it is still a critical factor. ♦️3. Maintain a minimum spacing of  λ/10 between the ground vias. For instance, at 2.4 GHz, the clearance should be 6 mm. ♦️4. Place ground-connected vias near the PCB edges to reduce RF losses through the laminate. The EMFs are less confined near the edges. However, avoid placing them too close to the edge to prevent mechanical issues. ♦️5. For mmWave PCBs, implement a via fence around grounded coplanar waveguides to enhance high-frequency isolation. This technique also suppresses frequencies below a cut-off and prevents mmWave interference with other signals. ♦️6. Avoid return or stitching vias for slow-speed signals with rise times higher than 20 ns (e.g., GPIOs, I2C, and control signals) because such signals are less sensitive to impedance discontinuities. ♦️7. Prioritize transition methods and the implementation of return paths (e.g., stitching vias) for higher-frequency signals or those with fast rise times to minimize radiation or crosstalk. 💡Read the blog to learn 4 RF PCB via design challenges: https://lnkd.in/gTvqcWZr #HighFrequencyDesign #PCBDesign #ViaDesign #ElectricalEngineering
