Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board disposed for reducing a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and having at least two layers, said multilayer printed circuit board comprising:a first conductive segment on a first layer;a second conductive segment on the first layer, said second segment being separated from said first segment by a primary gap; anda conductive interconnect on a second layer, said interconnect for carrying a high frequency signal therein, the second layer being disposed laterally from and substantially parallel to the first layer, said interconnect further being disposed for crossing over said first segment to said second segment in a cross-over region and wherein said first segment and said second segment are further characterized by a secondary gap in the cross-over region, the secondary gap being less than the primary gap for providing an increased coupling in the cross-over region.
