  • Patent number: 7449641
    Abstract: A high-speed signal transmission structure having parallel disposed and serially connected vias is disclosed. The structure is applicable to a multi-layered circuit board such as a high-speed digital circuit board for forming a high-speed signal transmission circuit on the high-speed digital circuit board. The structure includes a pair of parallel disposed and serially connected vias for connecting an upper conductive circuit installed on an upper layer of the multi-layered circuit board and a lower conductive circuit installed on a lower layer of the multi-layered circuit board. Compared with the prior art, an open stub formed by the remaining portion of the vias has become shorter, thereby reducing a resonance effect affecting the quality of signal transmission.
