PCB Routing Angle Myths: 45-Degree Angle Vs 90-Degree Angle PCB Routing Angle Myths: 45-Degree Angle Vs 90-Degree Angle One of the longest-running myths in signal integrity is the requirement to eliminate 90° turns in PCB traces. As time has gone on, the god-of-the-gaps phenomenon has taken over; the myth has gone from unfounded and has steadily been pushed off to higher frequencies. The myth is based on a complete misunderstanding of how charges and fields interact in conductors and dielectric materials, so a deeper understanding of the basic physics leads one to Read Article
