Need broadband PCB dielectric and conductor roughness models? The availability of such models is the cornerstone for PCB interconnect predictability. Ever wondered where do they come from? The models with 40-50 GHz bandwidth for 25 Gbps interconnects, as discussed in this DesignCon 2011 paper. Back in 2011, such models were not available. Fast forward to the present, and it's surprising to find that PCB manufacturers still don't offer such models. So, if you need a reliable analysis-to-measurement correlation, to have confidence in PCB interconnects compliance validation, then a material model identification should be the highest priority in your design process. The use of GMS-parameters in Simbeor software stands out as the most straightforward and precise method for this task, as shown in the paper (see also https://lnkd.in/gWCQTREz). Remember, the design of your test fixture is pivotal - the choice of connector and launch design can make all the difference. I have not seen such pristine launch designed and manufactured since that project. The paper also sheds light on how GMS-parameters depend on possible manufacturing variations. As we look at the current landscape, the need for broadband dielectric and conductor roughness models remains as critical as ever, especially for designs operating at high data rates with minimal insertion loss margins. #simbeor #electromagnetics #signal_integrity #DesignCon #SignalIntegrity #PCBDesign #ElectromagneticAnalysis
