Assessing the Accuracy of EM Simulation Tools

Electromagnetic simulation tools will almost always give a result for any problem after pressing the run button. But is the result accurate? A methodology is introduced to establish the best practices for using the Ansys 2D Extractor and HFSS tools that include recommendations for the setup conditions, balancing accuracy, and computation time. With this methodology, an error in the absolute accuracy when solving for some electrical features can be achieved to better than 0.3%.

Discontinuity Proximity Effect

Signal Integrity, In Practice

In this article, Donald Telian explains why discontinuities do not sum the same way as loss. Telian outlines that a failing an RL mask might indicate that Tx or Rx are simply too close to a discontinuity, causing the discontinuity proximity effect. Read on to learn more about how to to distance SerDes from discontinuities.
