Abstract :
The speeds of computers need to increase. A limitation to increasing this speed is the layout design of printed circuit boards (PCB´s). One of the critical limiting factors of the PCB is the orientation of differential capacitors with respect to one another. This paper determines the optimal orientation of these capacitors in order to reduce the return loss (DS11) from crosstalk as the speeds of computers rise to 20 GHz.
