In this tongue-in-cheek experiment that leads to actionable conclusions, Ben Dannan and Steve Sandler set out to discover a method to mitigate the lack of an isolation calibration step on a VNA.

Obtaining accurate measurement data requires either accurate knowledge and accounting for the probe and fixture influence OR calibration methodology to remove these effects prior to measurement.

This detailed analysis offers a comparison of various calibration methods for pulse generators according to IEC/EN 55016-1-1 (CISPR 16-1-1), where the spectrum amplitude is measured using different methods and then the results are compared and the measurement uncertainty is determined.

If we know how to design interconnects that correlate with the measurements for 28 Gbps NRZ, is it going to be a "free lunch" to move to 56 Gbps NRZ? Not so easily, as I learned recently. Read on to see how you can benefit from some analysis and validating your tools.
