Electrical and physical parametric study of high-speed link performance

Abstract

This paper introduces an efficient environment for parametric and statistical studies of electrical link performance. With this simulation environment and its use of systematic input and output files, the effects of both physical and electrical design parameters can be readily observed. In addition, supported by fast electromagnetic and link simulators, the environment enables the extensive studies of electrical links by considering the effects of changing many design parameters. An exemplary parametric study in this paper shows the usefulness of the simulation environment for various future applications. ©2010 IEEE.
