Analysis of PCB via for Signal Integrity Using ANOVA

Abstract

This paper based on ANOVA (ANalysis Of VAriance) presents an investigation in the design of signal via in multilayered printed circuit boards (PCB) technology from a signal integrity point of view. Using the concept of the orthogonal array (OA), different vias physical aspect ratios have been set in the analysis. The impacts of these parameters are investigated with the help for a full-wave electromagnetic simulation soft HFSS. This study demonstrates the factors which is the most influence on the signal integrity.
