How to Simulate Uniform Transmission Lines at Low Frequencies

This article details the electromagnetic simulation of low frequencies in Ansys Electronics Desktop, focusing specifically on arbitrary length transmission lines and cables with uniform cross sections. It presents two-dimensional, quasi-static field and circuit solvers as an alternative simulation method, covering the simulation workflow while highlighting the differences and benefits of using this method as opposed to using predominant full-wave field solvers.

The Road from 1 Gbps-NRZ to 224 Gbps-PAM4

Semiconductor signal conditioning and signal recovery innovations have extended data rates by managing allowable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at progressively higher Nyquist frequencies. We have experienced how each successive signaling technology increases the electro-mechanical design resolution needed to address the channel physics while respecting the SNR of the chips. These movements throughout the years have provided a baseline of traditional design goals that lead us to better understand today’s 224 Gbps-PAM4 physical layer requirements.
