Controlled Impedance Line Designer in ADS

The Controlled Impedance Line Designer in ADS enables signal integrity engineers to do pre-layout controlled impedance line design by optimizing the substrate stack up and the transmission line geometry. It allows designers to do it in the context of an end-to-end system simulation and to drive the optimization using metrics that matter, in particular, the post-equalization eye height and eye width. This video shows a short demo of what can be done in ADS using an example of a single-ended microstrip.
