Signal Integrity Journal Webinar Series

Title: Design of Experiments and Response Surface Modeling of Signal Integrity Interface in MATLAB

Date: November 14, 2023

Time: 8am PT / 11am ET

Sponsored by: MathWorks

Presented by: Andy Zambell, Sr. Product Marketing Engineer for SerDes and Signal Integrity applications, MathWorks

Abstract:
In this webinar, we will delve into the utilization of MATLAB's scripting interface to Signal Integrity Toolbox for setting up and creating a Design of Experiments (DOE). This webinar will demonstrate how to simulate numerous cases and employ the Statistical and Machine Learning Toolbox to fit and analyze a linear model.

Highlights of the webinar include:

• Exploring the solution space: Learn how to efficiently navigate a solution space with numerous variables and possible values, using DOE and Response Surface Modeling (RSM) to sample the solution space and fit a polynomial model to the data.
• Setting up a Serial Link Designer project: Understand how to configure a Serial Link Designer project, define DOE factors, and set up solution space variables for the best system performance.
• Statistical Simulation and Model Fitting: Learn how to gather simulation results, combine them with DOE factor values, and fit a linear quadratic model to the data.

By attending this webinar, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to use MATLAB to explore and analyze complex solution spaces. You will learn how to set up and execute a Design of Experiments, identify and define DOE factors, and analyze the results statistically. This knowledge will empower you to predict the best or worst-case scenarios effectively and leverage surrogate models for advanced analysis.
