Michael, For a simple, hand-on and practical approach to some of the problems you are facing, try measurements. We have a wealth of appnotes on how to quickly resolve your SI problems using measurements at http://www.tdasystems.com/support/applicationnotes/byapplication.shtml, starting from measurement basics, going on to backplane analysis and other applications. You also can take advantage of our hands-on training - see http://www.tdasystems.com/support/training/ for more details.
