Four Commonly Held Myths of EMC Design

“Don't get your ground plane, there's never really a good reason to do that.” - Dr. Todd Hubing
Dr. Todd Hubing debunks the EMC myth. Dr. Hubing has authored or co-authored over 200 papers and presentations on electromagnetic modeling, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and the design of reliable electronic systems. In this episode, he shares with us 30 years' worth of knowledge, tested, and proven facts about EMC.

Todd is just a fantastic EMC design engineer. Thank you for this interview.

In the description, I'm assuming by "get" it's supposed to be "gap"? As in "Don't gap your ground [return] plane, there's never really any reason to do that"

From Bogatin's _Signal Integrity Book_ [p.506]:
'We should remove the term _differential mode_ from our vocabulary and then we will never be confused between odd-mode impedance and differential impedance. They are completely different quantities. There are odd-mode impedances, differential signals, and differential impedances. [...] The odd-mode impedance is the impedance of one line when the pair is driven in the odd-mode state. The differential impedance is the impedance the differential signal sees as it propagates down the differential pair. [...] *There is no such thing as differential mode. Forget the word and you will never confuse differential impedance with odd-mode impedance.* '
So, in my opinion the correct answer is a.) Differential mode is not defined.
