RF and Microwave Basics Impact PCB Design
It is a given that printed circuit board designs are utilizing higher frequencies to meet
performance demands. As data rates increase, the resulting bandwidth requirements are
driving the upper limit of signal frequency to 1 GHz and beyond. And while this is a far
shot from millimeter wave technology (30 GHz), it is indeed RF and low-end microwave.
RF requires a design engineering approach that addresses the associated stronger
electromagnetic field effects which naturally occur at these higher frequencies. These
fields can induce signals in adjacent signal lines, or PCB traces, creating undesirable
crosstalk (interference and overall noise), undermining system performance. Return loss
(signal reflected back into the incident oncoming signal) is primarily caused by
impedance mismatch and has much the same impact of added noise and interference to
the primary signal.
There are two effects of high return loss, both of which are bad news. First, signal
reflection back towards the source adds noise to the system, making it more difficult for
the receiver to distinguish noise from the signal. Second, any reflected signal is
fundamentally a degradation of the signal itself since the “meaning” or shape of the
inbound signal can be altered. While a digital system can be far more forgiving since it is
only attempting to recognize a one or a zero (on or off), the use of harmonics for faster
pulse rise times involves weaker signals at higher frequency. And, while we can
implement forward error correction technology to fix some of these effects, the result is
system degradation as capacity gets consumed in redundant transmissions. A much
better answer is to understand and engineer the RF effects to help, not hurt, your signal
management assignment. Overall recommended target values for return loss are minus
25 dB at the highest frequency of interest (usually the worse-case dat
