Printed circuit boards are one of the important components of the electronics industry, and almost every electronic device, as small as electronic watches, calculators, as large as computers, communication electronics, military weaponry systems, and so on, requires the use of printed circuit boards for the electrical interconnection between the various components, provided they have electronic components such as integrated circuits. The printed circuit board is composed of an insulating base plate, connecting leads and a bonding pad for assembling and welding electronic elements, and has double functions of a conductive circuit and the insulating base plate. The circuit can replace complex wiring to realize electrical connection among elements in the circuit, thereby simplifying the assembly and welding work of electronic products, reducing the wiring workload in the traditional mode and greatly lightening the labor intensity of workers; and the volume of the whole machine is reduced, the product cost is reduced, and the quality and the reliability of the electronic equipment are improved. With the rapid improvement of signal transmission speed and the wide application of high frequency circuits, the reliability of signal transmission becomes a key factor in the success or failure of PCB design, and therefore, in order to realize complete, reliable and low-interference signal transmission, the impedance control design must be performed while the circuit layout in the PCB is performed to ensure the continuity of impedance on the signal transmission path, thereby improving the signal transmission quality.
However, in the prior art, on a radio frequency transmission link, the reference plane of a radio frequency signal routing line and a radio frequency test seat internal rib line is not consistent, so that the impedance on the radio frequency link cannot be optimally controlled, and the problem of impedance discontinuity exists in signal transmission, so that the signal integrity is poor. The application provides a printed circuit board and a mobile terminal, and the problem that the integrity of signals is poor due to impedance discontinuity on a radio frequency link is effectively solved.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a printed circuit board according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which components and relative positions of the components can be visually seen.
As shown in fig. 1, the printed circuit board 10 includes: signal routing layer 11, signal interlayer jump layer 12 and signal reference layer 13. Wherein, the signal routing layer 11 includes a radio frequency signal line 111 and a radio frequency test socket 112; the signal jump interlayer 12 is arranged below the signal routing layer 11, the signal jump interlayer 12 is provided with a clearance area 121, and the clearance area 121 is positioned below the projection of the radio frequency signal line 111 and the radio frequency test seat 112; the signal reference layer 13 is disposed below the signal interlayer jump layer 12.
Further, the impedance of the rf signal line 111 is generally 50 ohms, and when in an ideal state, the width of the rf signal line 111 is generally controlled to be about 7 mils (equal to 0.0254 mm), but in practical applications, because the rf signal line 111 has a high requirement for signal quality, consideration is needed for interference resistance (interference resistance: meaning that the device can prevent electromagnetic interference acting on the device through the antenna input end, the housing of the device, and along the power line), signal attenuation (signal attenuation: when a signal propagates in a transmission medium, a part of energy is converted into heat energy or absorbed by the transmission medium, thereby causing continuous reduction of signal strength, the degree of signal attenuation is not only an important index for evaluating the quality of communication, but also directly affects the characteristics of capacity expansion and upgrade of the communication system, relay distance in the arrangement of the communication transmission cable, and the like), and skin effect (skin effect: when there is an ac or an alternating electromagnetic field in the conductor, the current distribution inside the conductor is not uniform, the current is concentrated in the "skin" part of the conductor, that is to say the current is concentrated in a thin layer on the outside of the conductor, the closer to the surface of the conductor, the higher the current density, and the lower the current actually flows inside the conductor. As a result, the resistance of the conductor increases, and the power loss thereof also increases), and so on, the width of the rf signal line 111 in practical application is controlled to be between 0.35 mm and 0.5 mm, but the impedance of the rf signal line 111 decreases after the rf signal line 111 is thickened, and the impedance is larger as the distance between the rf signal line 111 and the signal reference layer 13 is larger, so in the embodiment of the present application, the impedance of the rf signal line 111 is controlled to be about 50 ohms by using the interlayer reference method. Therefore, when the distance between the rf signal line 111 and the signal reference layer 13 is defined as the reference distance, the reference distance is inversely proportional to the width of the rf signal line 111, that is, the larger the reference distance, the smaller the width of the rf signal line 111, and the smaller the reference distance, the larger the width of the rf signal line 111.
Specifically, the reference distance is related to the thickness of each layer of the pcb 10, the thickness of the pcb 10 is different between different devices, and the thickness of each layer of the pcb 10 is isolated by the substrate, and if the substrate is used differently, the thickness distance between each layer is different, and the reference distance is different.
Further, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic top plan view of a radio frequency test socket structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which components and relative positions of the components can be visually seen.
As shown in fig. 2, the rf test socket 112 includes: signal input 1121, signal output 1122, and test socket muscle wire 1123. The rf signal line 111 is electrically connected to the signal input end 1121 and the signal output end 1122 (not shown); two ends of the test socket rib wire 1123 are electrically connected to the signal input end 1121 and the signal output end 1122, respectively, and the test socket rib wire 1123, the signal input end 1121, the signal output end 1122 and the radio frequency signal wire 111 are located on the same plane layer, so that the vertical distances between the test socket rib wire and the signal reference layer 13 are the same, and thus the impedance on the radio frequency link can be optimally controlled, so that the impedance of signal transmission is more consistent, and the signal integrity is better.
Specifically, the test socket rib 1123 inside the radio frequency test socket 112 is a mechanical switch similar to a press-fit type elastic sheet, when an external test probe is not pressed into the radio frequency test socket 112, the internal test socket rib 1123 is in a closed state, and a signal passes through the signal input end 1121 to the signal output end 1122 to be in a through state; when the test probe is pressed into the rf test socket 112, the antenna load can be disconnected for testing the rf characteristics of the pcb 10.
Further, the width of the signal input end 1121 and the signal output end 1122 is any value from 0.35 mm to 0.5 mm, and is close to the width of the rf signal line 111, so that the continuity of the impedance on the rf link is improved.
Further, the width of the test seat rib line 1123 is any value from 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm.
Further, the rf test socket 112 is generally disposed on the rf module of the pcb 10 at a location between the conductive network outputs to the antenna feed points.
Further, the signal-bounce spacer layer 12 also includes a non-clearance region 122, and the material of the non-clearance region 122 includes copper.

Different from the prior art, in the printed circuit board 10 provided in this embodiment, the clearance area 121 is disposed on the signal jump spacer layer 12 below the projections of the radio frequency signal line 111 and the radio frequency test socket 112, so that the reference planes of the radio frequency signal line 111 and the radio frequency test socket 112 are both the signal reference layer 13, thereby improving the continuity of impedance on the radio frequency link and improving the transmission quality of the radio frequency signal.
In addition, according to a modification of the above embodiment, since it is substantially the same as the previous embodiment, the same reference numerals are given. According to this modified embodiment, the printed circuit board 10 includes: signal routing layer 11, signal interlayer jump layer 12 and signal reference layer 13.
