Patent ID: 8664537

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a printed circuit board for carrying circuitry, said printed circuit board including a dielectric substrate having a first conductive plane on a first side of the dielectric substrate and a second conductive plane on a second side of the dielectric substrate, said dielectric substrate maintaining said first conductive plane and said second conductive plane spaced apart; a plurality of alternately stitched vias located near a portion of an outer periphery of the printed circuit board, each one of said plurality of alternately stitched vias being electrically connected to only one of the first conductive plane and the second conductive plane in an alternating pattern and fully extending between said first conductive plane and said second conductive plane; and a source having a differential electrical signal connected to said first conductive plane and said second conductive plane so as to have a voltage differential between the first conductive plane and the second conductive plane and alternately energize said plurality of alternately stitched vias and thereby reduce electrical signal noise emissions from the circuitry carried on the printed circuit board.
