Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004082180A2] A method for enhancing the high frequency signal integrity performance of a printed circuit board (PCB) or backplane is provided. The method may involve the use of the S-parameters as the primary cost factors associated with an iterative process to optimize the physical dimensions and shape of a single or a collection of vias within the PCB or backplane. Such process involves the representation of the via components as equivalent lumped series admittances and impedances, as well as, RLGC sub-circuits upon which basic circuit analysis may be performed to optimize secondary characteristics, for example, the maximization of the sub-circuit's resistance and/or the minimization of the sub-circuit's capacitance. The iterative process involves the alteration of physical dimensions and the shape of the via components such that the secondary characteristics are optimized.
