Data Mining 12-Port S-Parameters
November 26, 2008 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
The 12-port differential S-parameters contain the complete behavior of up to three independent differential channels in a high-speed serial interconnect. When including magnitude and phase information, single-ended and differential forms, and the frequency and time domain descriptions, more than 400 different elements must be taken into account. This paper, written by Eric Bogatin of Bogatin Enterprises and Mike Resso of Agilent, puts in perspective the most important terms and the valuable information that can be extracted about interconnect performance from these measurements. In particular, this paper, presented at DesignCon 2009, show how the information about coupling regions can be mined from 12-port measurements. Click here.
