Why Are Reference Plane Critical for High-Speed PCB Design?

The Signal Is Only Half the Story. A high-speed signal may travel along a perfectly routed trace, but that is only half of its journey. The other half flows beneath the trace through a continuous reference plane that carries return current. At low frequencies, this path may seem easy to overlook. As edge rates increase,
