Insertion Loss in High-Speed PCB: Causes, Budget, Material Selection, Simulation & Reduction Guide
Insertion loss is one of the most critical signal integrity parameters in modern high-speed PCB design. As data rates rise to 16Gbps, 32Gbps, 56Gbps and 112Gbps PAM4, uncontrolled insertion loss leads to signal attenuation, eye diagram closure, increased jitter and serious bit error issues. This all-in-one pillar content systematically explains the definition, three major loss…
