Signal Integrity—Multi-Gigabit Transmission over Backplane Systems
3. Materials
From measured data, it can be shown that traditional materials attenuate the signal more than the exotic laminates at high rates. At 12 Gbps, the exotics offered more than a 15 percent improvement in eye opening (see Figures 8 and 11). And at the 50 percent power point, they offered more than 2 GHz in additional bandwidth.
