Popis: Striplines are widely used in high speed printed circuit boards (PCB). When the stripline is in inhomogeneous dielectric media, its principle operation mode is quasi-TEM. In this case, the parallel-plate mode between two ground planes can be excited as a parasitic mode. This paper investigates the effect of this parasitic mode on striplines through simulations. The simulated S-parameters of striplines when this parallel-plate mode is excited and suppressed are compared. The measured S-parameters of striplines with and without the ground stitching vias are also compared. The impact of the parasitic mode on time domain crosstalk and eye diagram is also shown.
