Reduction of microstrip FEXT plays an important role in microwave engineering, as microstrip coupled line backward couplers suffer from poor directivity when not compensated. In this article, Henning Mextorf presents a general approach to improve directivity which does not require a modification of the dimensions of the coupled line structure and provides closed form solutions for optimum capacitor values.

PCB connector suppliers are often tasked with providing connectors that meet today’s high-speed and high-density requirements. In many cases, these connectors also need to maintain signal integrity under harsh conditions. Such models make it possible to simulate how the connector will interface and perform in its surrounding environment. IEH has partnered with Modelithics to offer 3D geometry models for various IEH hyperboloid connector products.
