Abstract :
A number of simulation methods dealing with measured S-parameters have been developed for the simulation of high-speed backplane transceivers and printed circuit board signal integrity analysis. Although these methods implemented in many circuit simulators provide correct system-level and transistor-level simulations, they usually fail to give correct results for many challenging backplane channels. This paper discusses a simulator that we developed which can give correct simulation results for those channels. It can also process those channel model files to allow commercial circuit simulators to give correct results.
