Signal Integrity Applications

Model high-speed backplanes and cross talk between channels, and calculate TDR and TDT

You can use the RF Toolbox™ after characterizing the backplane with N-port network for signal integrity analysis. Analysis include time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and time-domain transmission (TDT). After analysis, you can build a Simulink^® model to study the impact of the differential backplane on an input signal. You can also export your model to a Verilog-A module to model a the high-level behavior of the high-speed backplane.

Model and Analyze High-Speed Backplanes

Model high-speed backplanes from S-parameters and analyze them using rational function.
- STEP 1: Use S-parameters with Port Reduction
- STEP 2: Fit S-Parameters with a Rational Function
- STEP 3: Compute Differential TDR and TDT
- STEP 4: Build Simulink Model from Rational Function
- STEP 5: Export Verilog-A module from Rational Function
