Electrical and Design Parameters Optimization of Transmission Lines in Computer Systems
Computer system designers currently use a host of international standards, GOST 21552-84 Computer Equipment, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publications, as well as their own guidelines for developing specific types of computer equipment employed for the analysis and synthesis of transmission line parameter control. Here, an approach is described for using the simulation tools to improve data exchange reliability through the use of the transmission lines, including on multilayer printed circuit boards.
