subramanya,

I believe that the right angled traces introduces more capacitance due to more area at the 90 degree bends than the curved bends. I am not sure about the antenna effect at the right angled bends.

  Hello SI Gurus,
  I have a basic question here. We all know that "Right angled traces are never used on PCBs" as the act as antennas (better antennas than the curved traces). In an article I read that this radiation is due not to the frequency of the signal , but to it's rise time. Could someone please explain me this theory ?

  Thanks and Regards,
