Unlock the secrets of S-Parameters for Signal Integrity Applications

This one-day class, designed and offered by Signal Integrity Evangelist Dr. Eric Bogatin, shows you how to unlock the power of SParameters for signal integrity applications. In a 4 port measurement, there are more than 400 different S-Parameter terms, including single ended, differential, frequency domain and time domain formats, either as step response or impulse response. Each term tells another piece of the interconnect’s story.

This class enables you to tap into the secrets locked inside S-Parameters and walks through the details of interpreting the measured or simulated results of 1-port, 2-port, or 4-port S-Parameters as single ended, differential in the frequency domain and the time domain. Topics include:
• The value of Insertion and return loss
• Single ended and differential S-parameters
• How to extract characteristic impedance and differential impedance
• Identifying mode conversion problems and solutions
• The ten item check list to evaluate all S-parameters
• The four most important patterns you will see
