SI'ers,

I know this group has beat this subject to death. I would only suggest another
reference to add to you collection of papers should be : Douville, R.J.P. and
James, D.S., "Experimental Study of Symmetric Microstrip Bends and Their
Compensation," IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques., Vol.
MTT-26, March, 1978. I can't provide copies as I only have an internal company
correspondence that does some local banter and includes the complete reference.
Despite its age, I would expect it to be had in some archives.

I found this quite helpful in forming my own conclusions since it provides some
really good, quantified frequency_domain data.

As always, your mileage may vary.

Enjoy the process,

Brad Henson, Raytheon

Mitch,

I'm looking at Mr. Brooks well written articles right now.
And Mr. Brooks does an excellent discussion.

What I can't find is an article by a Dr. Bracken (spelling?)
of Ansoft (maybe not there now) who performed a 0.1 volt crosstalk
to 1 volt signal simulation with right angle bends. Dr. Bracken
also discussed a common to differential mode conversion as a
possible mechanism. I also can not seem to locate Mr. Montrose's
article submitted at the Denver EMC Symposium titled "Time and
Frequency Domain Analysis of Right Angle Corners on Printed
Circuit Board Traces."

As far as "disproving" a myth, I'm not so sure yet.
I'll have to see more data.
