Abstract.A signal trace on a PCB is modeled as a transmission line characterized by four parameters: R, L, C, and G, specified per unit length. A field solver is usually used to determine these frequency dependent parameters for a given trace geometry. This paper describes most recent trends in modeling PCB (Printed Circuit Board) interconnect traces in a context of current design requirements for multi-gigabit data interfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
