Jory, I think this is good example of where intuitively appealing 
misconceptions can seduce one into translating correlation into 
causation.  If you have more ringing in one case than another, it means 
that you have set up a resonance that is more severe in the one case.  
This can easily happen as a result of any number of things going on:  
suboptimal silicon to package launch, suboptimal IC to PCB, via stubs, 
connector transitions, etc, etc.

The very simple test is to take a VNA, a couple of sections of coax and 
a DC block.  Move the DC block between the transmit end, the junction of 
the two cables, and the receiver and look at the behavior of that net 
channel.  With good coax and connectors the channel performance will 
change almost immeasureably.  Now go and add a coax T on one side of the 
DC block.  Move that whole thing around as a unit and again the channel 
performance remains the same.  Add a second coax T on the other side of 
the DC block from the first, and again move the whole thing around.  The 
results will still remain uniform.   Now if you go and move one of those 
T's someplace else, then the pesky mole you're trying to whack moves and 
the resonance will pop up somewhere else.  The bottom line is that it's 
resonance that we need to fight and resonance doesn't know left from right.

Regards,


Steve.
