Uniform transmission lines are best suited for high-speed data transmission because of their broadband impedance characteristics. In some applications, a minor deviation from uniformity can help in optimizing other desired signal integrity metrics. This paper addresses some of the challenges involved with this approach.

An Outstanding Paper Award Winner at EDI CON USA 2017, this paper investigates SERDES performance in a multi-board system. The goal is to identify the cause of data transmission errors and variability between different differential pairs on the same board and between several boards.  Numerical and experimental investigations are carried out on a test board supporting several interfaces operating at 16 Gbps and above, with recommendations to improve performance.
