← ScienceWhich constraint affects signal propagation when increasing PCB trace density?
A)Increased crosstalk between adjacent traces✓
B)Ohmic losses in power planes rise
C)Dielectric breakdown within substrate grows
D)Thermal expansion rate significantly reduces
💡 Explanation
Increased line density raises the risk of inductive and capacitive coupling between the traces, causing increased crosstalk because higher density constrains EM fields; therefore reducing trace separation amplifies signal interference rather than improving noise isolation.
