ABSTRACT:
A via transmission line for a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) in which a wave guiding channel is formed by a signal via or a number of signal vias, an assembly of ground vias surrounding the signal via or corresponding number of coupled signal vias, a set of ground plates from conductor layers of the multilayer PCB, and a clearance hole. In this via transmission line, the signal via, or the number of signal vias forms an inner conductive boundary, ground vias and ground plates from conductor layers of the multilayer PCB form an outer conductive boundary, and the clearance hole provides both isolation of the inner conductive boundary from the outer conductive boundary and high-performance broadband operation of the via transmission line by means of the predetermined clearance hole cross-sectional shape and dimensions where the cross-sectional shape of the clearance hole is defined by the arrangement of ground vias in the outer conductive boundary and dimensions of the clearance hole are determined according to a method to minimize frequency-dependent return losses caused by specific corrugations of the outer conductive boundary formed by ground plates in the wave guiding channel of the via transmission line.
