ABCD parameters vs S-parameters

The Advantages of ABCD Parameters for Analyzing Your PCB 7 min Blog SI (Signal integrity) engineers always talk about S-parameters, but an alternative tool for circuit design and analysis is ABCD parameters.

transmission line transfer function ABCD parameters S parameters

Transmission Line Transfer Function from ABCD and S-parameters 11 min Blog High frequency and data rate channels can be routed as a mode-selective transmission line. Here’s when you should consider this routing technique.

Stripline vs microstrip impedance

Stripline vs. Microstrip Trace Width for Desired Impedance: Are They the Same? 6 min Thought Leadership Stripline vs. microstrip width values are quite different; they can’t simply be interchanged. Let’s break down why and what you can expect from your PCBs.

UTP cable differential pairs without ground

Differential Pairs Without a Ground Plane: Is it a Problem? 12 min Blog Some designers tell you that differential pairs without ground are acceptable. So who’s correct? We’ll examine the pros and cons of a differential pair ground plane.

Through Thick And Thin — How Do You Get High Current Into a High Speed PCB?

Through Thick And Thin — How Do You Get High Current Into a High Speed PCB? 6 min Blog The typical large currents in today’s high speed PCB designs require a different approach. This article will describe the stackup requirements associated with these very large current PCBs and how to design them so that they can be readily manufactured properly.

S-parameter causality

How to Verify Signal Integrity Causality in S-parameters 9 min Blog We often hear about how time-domain simulations require causal S-parameters. We’ll explore what S-parameter causality means and what non-causal S-parameters do to channel analysis.
