Signal integrity analysis of PCBs

[garvind25]

Hi,

I am new to signal integrity concept and wanted to know about signal integrity analyses for a 25 MHz range PCB. What all are to be checked for SI analyses and how can it be done. I know the usage of CST microwave. Will that be helpful pls.? It will be nice if anyone can list the analyses/ checks to be made for SI in PCBs as a starting point of my search.

Thanks,

Forget about CST for Signal Integrity.
There are many options for mainstream software packages such as Cadence Allegro( Sigrity),Mentor Graphics(Hyperlynx) etc. for Signal Integrity targeted.
You can choose one of them.( I have never used so I've no experience ) This software must absolutely be 100% compatible with your main PCB design program.It's salty..
