Hi, Me again, with a freebie this time! We're offering two free, half-day, hands-on events: "Interconnect Analysis & Modeling Workshop" Both sessions are on September 22, 2008 at Agilent Technologies, 5301 Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara CA 1) Morning session is 8:00am - noon 2) Identical afternoon session is 12:45pm - 4:45pm Seating is limited, so early registration is advised. More details and registration at: http://www.agilent.com/find/interconnect-workshop Agenda The workshop will start with a presentation reviewing the measurement and simulation technologies, approaches and case studies. Attendees will then break into smaller groups and rotate through hands-on labs focusing on these topics: * Measurement Lab: Review a TDR and VNA, discuss TDR and VNA calibration techniques, perform a multi-port calibration, review PLTS automation capabilities, make differential measurements, interpret time and frequency domain results, understand differential S-parameters, and create data file for ADS use. * Simulation Lab: Review ADS environment, incorporate measured data in a circuit, perform a circuit simulation, interpret simulation results, review "scope" display mode, create an equivalent circuit model for backplane, optimize model to match measured results, explore what-ifs, and review advanced ADS features.
