PCB Impedance Discontinuity occurs when there is a sudden change in impedance along a signal path, causing reflections and signal distortion. Common causes include vias, connectors, trace width changes, and poor reference plane transitions. These issues become critical in high-speed and RF designs, where even small mismatches affect performance. Proper stack-up planning, controlled impedance routing, and optimized via design help reduce problems. At BitWise Laboratories, advanced testing and analysis services support engineers in identifying and minimizing PCB Impedance Discontinuity, ensuring reliable signal integrity and high-performance PCB designs.
