Abstract
A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) includes a signal layer, upper and lower ground layers, and two dielectric layers. The signal layer includes a differential pair comprising two transmission lines to transmit a pair of differential signal. The dielectric layers are respectively located on and under the signal layer to sandwich the signal layer. The upper ground layer is attached to the dielectric layer on the signal layer. The lower ground layer is attached to the dielectric layer under the signal layer. Each ground layer defines a void therein aligning with the differential pair. Dielectric coefficients of the two dielectric layers are different.

A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), comprising:
- a signal layer comprising a differential pair, the differential pair comprising two transmission lines to transmit a pair of differential signals;
- two dielectric layers respectively located on and under the signal layer to sandwich the signal layer, wherein dielectric coefficients of the two dielectric layers are different;
- and
- an upper ground layer and a lower ground layer, wherein the upper ground layer is attached to the dielectric layer on the signal layer, opposite to the signal layer;
- wherein the lower ground layer is attached to the dielectric layer under the signal layer, opposite to the signal layer;
- wherein each of the upper and lower ground layers defines a void aligning with the differential pair, wherein there is a first horizontal distance between each edge of the void of the upper ground layer and a nearest transmission line of the transmission lines, there is a second horizontal distance between each edge of the void of the lower ground layer and a nearest transmission line of the transmission lines, the first and second horizontal distances are different.
