Which outcome results when a PCB trace carrying high-frequency signal approaches ground plane gap?

💡 Explanation

When PCB trace crosses a ground plane gap, electromagnetic field lines concentrate because the return current path is disrupted. Therefore EMI emissions increase, rather than impedance matching, signal integrity or reduced power consumption; these require tight field control and continuous ground planes.
