[0002] With the rapid development and application of new products and technologies, a new generation of high-speed technology has begun to become popular, and the application of radio frequency (RF) has expanded to 67GHz and even higher frequency applications, such as 77GHz RF radar.

[0003] As the frequency of RF signals increases, the signals become more sensitive to application design, and the design considerations will also increase accordingly. How to effectively and quickly design a path that meets the requirements of high-frequency signals has become a difficult problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a PCB of a high-speed connector and an optimization method and system thereof, which achieve the reduction of link return loss, TDR impedance fluctuation amplitude and signal insertion loss vibration amplitude, improve the linearity of signal insertion loss, thereby improving the overall test performance of the entire link, and significantly improve the signal bandwidth throughput capacity of the PCB of the high-speed connector, meet the high-frequency signal path requirements of the high-speed connector for the PCB, thereby ensuring the efficient operation of the high-speed connector, and providing technical support for future high-speed and high-frequency application scenarios.

[0005] The technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A PCB optimization method for a high-speed connector comprises the following steps:

[0007] Establish a three-dimensional PCB model based on the PCB stack;

[0008] Import 3D high-speed connector models;

[0009] Establish emulation ports and set the operating frequency of high-speed connectors;

[0010] Parameterizing key components of the PCB that affect impedance;

[0011] The structural parameters of the key components are optimized by parameter scanning.

[0012] In the above technical scheme, the link between the corresponding high-speed connector and PCB is simulated through three-dimensional modeling, and the key components affecting the impedance in the PCB are optimized, which reduces the link return loss, TDR impedance fluctuation amplitude and signal insertion loss vibration amplitude, and improves the linearity of the signal insertion loss, thereby improving the overall test performance of the entire link, and significantly improving the signal bandwidth throughput capacity of the PCB of the high-speed connector, meeting the high-frequency signal path requirements of the high-speed connector to the PCB, thereby ensuring the efficient operation of the high-speed connector and providing technical support for future high-speed and high-frequency application scenarios.

[0013] Furthermore, the optimization of the structural parameters of the key components by parameter scanning specifically includes the steps of: optimizing the structural parameters of each key component one by one by parameter scanning; wherein the next key component to be optimized is optimized based on the last key component that has been optimized.

[0014] In the above technical solution, by further optimizing the structural parameters of the next key component that needs to be optimized based on the key component whose structural parameters have been optimized before, the structural parameters of all key components are finally achieved, thereby ensuring the optimal design, manufacturing and application of the PCB of the high-speed connector.

[0015] Furthermore, the key components are one or more of the outer copper layer of the high-speed connector pad, the inner copper layer of the high-speed connector pad, the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet, the outer copper layer of the high-speed connector outlet, the peripheral GND via or the GND hole accompanying the high-speed connector outlet area.

[0016] In the above technical solution, in actual applications, the number of key components may be one or more. During the optimization process, one may be selected as the first object to be optimized, and then other key components may be optimized. Of course, an optimization sequence may also be set for these key components, and then they may be optimized according to the pre-set sequence. The specific operation may be performed according to actual needs to meet the optimization of the PCB of the high-speed connector corresponding to the high-speed connectors with different operating frequencies.

[0017] Furthermore, the hollowed-out diameter of the outer copper layer of the high-speed connector pad is 30-90 mil; the hollowed-out diameter of the inner copper layer of the high-speed connector pad is 20-60 mil; the length of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet is 50-150 mil, and the width of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet is 4-12 mil; the hollowed-out width of the outer copper layer of the high-speed connector outlet is 25-75 mil; the diameter of the peripheral GND via is 5-15 mil, and the center distance between the peripheral GND via and the high-speed connector pad is 40-120 mil; the center distance between the two GND holes of the high-speed connector outlet area, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet and are oppositely arranged, is 15-45 mil.

[0021] Furthermore, before establishing the three-dimensional PCB model according to the PCB stacking, the method also includes the step of designing the PCB stacking, that is, the impedance control form.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the PCB stacking can be designed before establishing the PCB three-dimensional model, which is convenient for parameterizing the key components of the PCB that affect the impedance, simplifying the optimization method, making the PCB optimization more efficient and purposeful, providing a basis for the design and production of the optimized PCB, and making it easier to implement and operate.

[0023] Furthermore, before importing the three-dimensional high-speed connector model, the method further includes the step of establishing and pre-storing the three-dimensional high-speed connector model according to the high-speed connector.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the three-dimensional model of the high-speed connector can be pre-stored (mainly for existing high-speed connectors with existing three-dimensional models) or constructed on site (mainly for newly designed high-speed connectors that have not yet been manufactured and are in the design stage).

[0070] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 As shown, a PCB optimization method for a high-speed connector, based on any of the above embodiments, further includes the step of: establishing and pre-storing the three-dimensional high-speed connector model according to the high-speed connector.

[0075] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-8As shown, a PCB of a high-speed connector, based on the above embodiments, the adjustable range of any value among the hollowing diameter A of the outer copper foil of the high-speed connector pad, the hollowing diameter B of the inner copper foil of the high-speed connector pad, the length C of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet, the width K of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet, the hollowing width D of the outer copper foil of the high-speed connector outlet, the diameter E of the peripheral GND via hole, the center distance F between the peripheral GND via hole 115 and the high-speed connector pad, and the center distance H between the accompanying GND holes of the two high-speed connector outlet areas respectively arranged on both sides of the narrow line of the high-speed connector pad outlet and arranged opposite to each other is ±50%.

[0076] For example, the hollowing diameter B of the inner copper foil of the high-speed connector pad is 40 mils.

And the peripheral GND via 115 and the accompanying GND hole 116 of the high-speed connector outlet area of ​​the present invention are GND holes set for the corresponding high-speed connector 2. Of course, it is worth explaining that the present PCB (the PCB in this article refers to the PCB of the present high-speed connector) will also set other GND holes that are not related to the high-speed connector 2 or are not set close to it (but it does not mean that it is not related to the high-speed connector 2).

Figure 12-14 (in, Fig.12 The horizontal axis is the frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis is the return loss; Fig.13 The horizontal axis is the frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis is the insertion loss; Fig.14 The horizontal axis is picoseconds (ps), and the vertical axis is impedance) is the signal loss data after the existing PCB is optimized by the present invention and the high-speed TR70 connector is linked through three-dimensional modeling simulation: the return loss S(25, 25) is significantly reduced, the TDR impedance fluctuation is reduced, the insertion loss S(25, 26) is significantly improved, and the linearity is enhanced. Further, Figure 15-17 (in, Fig.15 The horizontal axis is the frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis is the return loss; Fig.16 The horizontal axis is the frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis is the insertion loss; Fig.17 The horizontal axis is nanoseconds (ns), and the vertical axis is impedance). The applicant further tested the actual product to obtain measured data, and found that the measured data and the simulation data have basically the same trend, and the signal return loss and insertion loss are improved. This shows that the present invention is effective and has obvious effects, and significantly improves the bandwidth of the signal channel.
