Thank you, now that I understand that 20 H means the power plane outside edge is set back from the ground plane edge a distance 20 times the separation between the two planes, it is possible to opine on the subject.
Looking at the fringing field set up by potentials and gradients between the two planes, if you follow the 20 H rule the radiation efficiency will be much less, the quasi-static and induction fields will be there, but much less of the energy will break off and radiated as a traveling electromagnetic wave. > From: Cortland Richmond <[email protected]> > Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 20:47:48 -0500 > To: ieee pstc list <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Suppression of radiated emissions and spread spectrum clocking > > Ken Javor wrote > >>> I didn't know what the 20 H rule was either, just assumed everyone else > did... << > > See > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu/si-list4/0391.html > page 9 of http://www.ansoft.com/thewave/Shielding_and_Decoupling.pdf > http://factaee.elfak.ni.ac.yu/fu2k12/fu04.html > and others (search on "20H rule.") > > RF between two equally sized planes does radiate from the slot formed at > the edge - but RF on a small plane over a larger one also radiates from the > slot around the smaller.
