Current IssueBreaking High-speed Material Constraints
Do you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems. Learn more in this issue.
Level Up Your Design Skills
This month, our contributors discuss the PCB design classes available at IPC APEX EXPO 2024. As they explain, these courses cover everything from the basics of design through avoiding over-constraining high-speed boards, and so much more!
Opportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.

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.
