Hello Kai,

I was just waiting for your expected comment !

But tell me, in a double sided PCB where there are almost equal traces on both sides is it possible at all to have an effective ground plane without too many jumpers. Maybe this is a clear possibility with maultilayer PCBs where one can allocate one layer for the ground plane ?

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. ( Then I will get on with my PCB artwork guy with the ammunition - he always tells me it is difficult to realise massive ground planes in two sided PCBs with plenty of traces on both sides. )

Thanks

Raghu
