An analog signal processing technique allowing arbitrary step
response is presented. A transversal structure is used with
nonuniform contradirectional coupling to provide continuous tapping.
Sinusoidal and chirp responses are presented as examples implemented
using this nonuniformly coupled microstrip structure.
The improved accuracy of Time Domain Reflection and Transmission (TDR/T)
measurements made possible by the calibration process known as Time Domain
Network Analysis (TDNA) is applied to the problem of characterization and modeling
of electronic interconnect and packaging structures. TDNA uses measurements of
known and partially known calibration standards to...
