When to use large ground planes

2003-01-14 by ghidera2000 <ghidera2000@yahoo.com>

I often see ground traces expanding out to cover large areas of
PCBs. I have a half-idea that this is to clean up the ground when
using analog parts, is this correct? If not, whats the actual
reason? How much does it really help?
