Send me a pm, Ill send you S-parameter models for our Intersymbol Interference Platform, ISI-28 so you can do your own simulations in both microstrip and stripline. The platform includes both structures with pristine launches from 3 to almost 50inches of differential trace. We also have BERT data from 10 to 32Gbpsec, corresponding to simulated measurements. Our BERT and simulated S-parameter eyes data suggests both structures works well, but Gert is correct in that VIA and launch issues highly impact the jitter results. Poor return loss structures, along with weave issues and poor fabrication can create resonance in systems which wreaks havoc on jitter repeatability and simulation correspondence to measurement. - Al Neves Products for the Signal Integrity Practitioner Alfred P.
