Hello John, Just representing our partner, Agilent. ADS allows you to interface directly to VNA instrumentation and use S-parameter data as a model. The data processing capability includes many built in data patterns, as well as the ability to interface directly to instrumentation for data generation, or correlation to measured BER. ISI can be evaluated with Eye diagrams, Jitter, BER, etc. They have some new SI Product literature: http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5988-5405EN.pdf Here is an App. Note on integrating BER simulation with Agilent data generation and BER measurement tools. The application is RF communications, but the capability is extensible to any high speed data channel http://literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5989-0024EN.pdf -- Gary -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John Lin (ªL´Â·×) Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 7:13 PM To: Scott McMorrow Cc: steve weir; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Estimate ISI with S parameters -- Using TDR to do SDD21 correlation? Hi Scott, Thank you for helps. Yes, I can run circuit with s-parameter model. Here, one question. Before, I would like to run random pattern for ISI. Recently studying, show only need to do pulse response to see how the result waveform penetrates to next signal. It makes sense to me and also easier to run simulation. Any comments on this method? Also, I don't have a 4 port VNA to measurement SDD21 for correlation. However I have a TDR with only one differential module to measure trace impedance (SDD11). (I cannot use TDT functions since only one module installed) Is it reasonable to correlate SDD11 as a indicator for the correlation of SDD21? Do I miss something? Thanks, John ________________________________ From: Scott McMorrow [mailto:scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 9:21 PM To: John Lin (ªL´Â·×) Cc: steve weir; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] Re: Estimate ISI with S parameters? John If you have HSPICE available, you can set up a circuit with s-parameter modeling to measure any pattern dependent ISI that you want. scott Scott McMorrow Teraspeed Consulting Group LLC 121 North River Drive Narragansett, RI 02882 (401) 284-1827 Business (401) 284-1840 Fax http://www.teraspeed.com Teraspeed(r) is the registered service mark of Teraspeed Consulting Group LLC John Lin (ªL´Â·×) wrote: Hi Steve, Thanks for your helps. >From other response, it looks like, I need to transfer channel's S = parameters into time domain and do pulse repsonse to see how the curve at the falling edge = penetrates to the period=20 Of a next signal.
