Hello all,
I have a question on how the SDD and SCD series of measurements are made. Never 
having actually
performed  these measurements I did a bit of reading and am unclear on the 
process. What I understand is
(at least from one manufacturer of test equipment) that the 4 x 4 single-ended 
S-parameters (S11 to S44)
are  measured. A built-in function then converts them to the mixed mode 
S-parameters.

My question: For SDD11 are the trace pairs driven with a differential signal 
(in the software?).
By the same token for the SDC measurements are the traces driven with a common 
signal?

Thanks!
Best Regards
