S-Parameter Master Class Part 2 with Eric Bogatin - Hands on Lab
Eric Bogatin (Signal Integrity Evangelist , Teledyne LeCroy)
Location: Mission City M3
Date: Thursday, January 30
Time: 9:05am - 9:45am
Track: Sponsored Session
Vault Recording: TBD
Do you deal with S-parameters or VNA measurements and don't have a clue what the results mean? Want to understand how to interpret the ripples you see in your S-parameters? Need to measure S-parameters but not sure how to start? Curious to see what the TDR response of your interconnect is but limited by the VNA in your lab? This is the workshop for you.
This is a hands on workshop. Bring your PC laptop so you can play along with the examples. Download and install the free WavePulser 40iX software from here https://lcry.us/2PAwBxy before you come to the workshop.
In Part Two of the workshop , we apply these principles to differential interconnects and look at how to interpret the mixed mode S-parameters and the mixed-mode TDR response. We’ll look at differential and common impedance profiles and the connection between mode conversion and the design of the interconnects.
*The actual .s2p and .s4p files from the measurements we do in the workshop will be given out so all participants can play along on their computers. The free software can be used to look at your own touchstone files you bring to the workshop. Time will be available after the workshop as a clinic to meet with our experts to help you analyze and interpret your own S-parameters.
