Ultra-Low Insertion Inductance, Ultra-High-Bandwidth Resistors

By treating the resistor as an electromagnetic structure rather than a lumped element, and by managing coupling, shielding, thermal paths, and compensation as part of a unified design, it becomes possible to achieve ultra‑low insertion inductance and gigahertz‑class measurement bandwidth in a device small enough for production use. The result is a measurement element that enhances system performance rather than limiting it. As power systems continue to push toward higher speed, higher density, and higher reliability, the current‑sense resistor must evolve accordingly. In this article, Steve Sandler outlines a path to that evolution.

Causality in Practice: How Frequency Sampling and Bandwidth Shape Time-Domain Fidelity

In this article, Tyler Huddleston explores causality in relation to signal and power integrity simulations. He reviews how causality affects time-domain simulation fidelity as well as how non-causal s-parameters can result from real measurements and simulations. Learn about how non-causal data can be avoided and the consequences of using a non-causal model in time-domain simulations.

Are 1.0 mm Precision RF Connectors Required for 224 Gbps PAM4 Verification?

DesignCon 2024 Best Paper Award Winner

This paper, awarded the Best Paper Award at DesignCon 2024, explores what is meant by bandwidth during the standardization process, the implications of test and verification attached to certain bandwidth requirements, as well as differences between acquisition range, band limited filters, and s-parameters for time domain processing.

Quick, Simple Way to Measure the System Bandwidth of a Scope-Probe System

While we get the scope’s bandwidth from the vendor, as soon as we add a cable, probe, or amplifier to the scope, we decrease the system bandwidth. The new system bandwidth is as important to know as the scope’s bandwidth, but it is generally difficult to measure except in a calibration lab. We offer a simple method of evaluating the transfer function and system bandwidth of any probing system using a wide band noise source. This method not only gives us information about the probes and interconnects, but it also tells us how the scope responds to the measurement system, information which cannot be measured by a VNA alone.
