Hi all: I am currently working on a high speed differential trace characterization up to 28Gbps, the problem is the high insertion loss, your signals has degraded just for several inches. So this company comes up with this tools to calculate the emphasis taps you can add into your PG to compensate the loss and reopen the eye. I was so confused by the way how they calculate it, because sometime they won't give you the best optimized taps. Any suggestion to full understand the Pre-emphasis Vs. insertion loss?
