Signal Integrity for High Speeds
Measurement of parameters such as impedance, line delay, losses due to insertion / return / mode conversion and NEXT / FLEX crosstalk are usually undertaken in the frequency domain using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).
To connect the cable-connector assembly to the VNA device, one needs to design a high-speed precision PCB based on the required bandwidth. In order to ensure high-quality results, one should perform the following tasks according to IEEE Std 370™-2020.
Check out Fischer's White Paper “Signal Integrity for High-Speed Data Transmission, Challenges and Solutions” on high-speed data transmission protocols, design optimization, test methods and system-level testing.
