Learning objectives
Signal Integrity is a key issue in the design of electronic based products and in particular printed circuit boards (PCBs). As digital circuits operate at higher and higher clock speeds signal integrity becomes increasingly important. The PCB and interconnects in general can dramatically alter the performance of circuits and systems and should be considered as a major component that impacts on the product design activity at an early stage.
After completing this module you will be able to design high speed PCB interconnects, simulate and measure their performance using state of the art software and probes.
The module makes extensive use of the signal integrity tools in ADS software suite.
