Abstract
This paper addresses the high-frequency signal transmission problem of high-speed differential lines on four-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs). It establishes a mathematical model of high-speed differential lines in conjunction with modified Kron's methodology (MKM), a nontraditional circuit modeling method. The article builds the model through diakoptics of differential lines, then generates the corresponding topology maps, and finally creates the model through tensorial analysis of the network (TAN). The differential line model is simulated and optimized by HFSS. This paper mainly analyzes the influence of differential line spacing and grounding vias on the signal transmission of differential lines. Secondly, it analyzes the problem of multi-group differential line arrangement based on the above work. Finally, the experimental results obtained are consistent with the simulation ones.
