At very low frequencies, significant return currents (eddy currents) flow along the metal edges. At higher frequencies, displacement
currents start to dominant and eddy currents diminishes.

Discussion and Conclusions
Return currents with Optimal competitor quasi-static tools flow in metal materials only.Optimal O-Wave includes return currents in metal materials (eddy currents) and in dielectric materials (displacement current).At high frequencies (>100 MHz), the quasi-static method used by competitors over-predicts inductance by almost 50%.Displacement current plays an important role in designing tracesjumping over slots in a ground/power plane at high frequencies.PakSi-E’s improved quasi-static method provides very accurate solutions for ground planes with slots and holes.To accomplish this benchmark with competitor tools requires three different tools at a much higher cost.

Discussion and Conclusions
A hole in a ground plane will cause a higher inductance and a lower capacitance for traces crossing over the hole.Traces crossing over a hole will have a higher characteristic impedance.Changes in delay for traces crossing over a hold is not as significant as the changes in characteristic impedance.Use of O-Wave together with WB-Extract can accurately quantify effects of holes in a ground plane on signal integrity of traces crossing over it.

Discussion and Conclusions
Long via stubs creates bad signal integrity at high frequenciesA longer via stub will cause higher capacitance and lower inductance, and thus, lower characteristic impedance.A 3D full wave simulation tool, such as O-Wave, is required to accurately capture the resonance due to long via stubs.Use of WB-Extract and S2TDR with O-Wave allows high speed designers to quantify effects of via stubs on signal integrity in both frequency and time domains.

Discussion and Conclusions
Increasing adjacent ground vias from 1 to 4 reduces the signal via inductance by 33%.Further increasing adjacent ground vias from 4 to 8 does not improve the signal via inductance.Handbook equation can only provide a rough estimate of via inductance.A 3D full wave simulation tool, such as O-Wave, is required to accurately quantify effects of number of adjacent ground vias.Use of WB-Extract with O-Wave allows high speed designers to extract electrical parasitics out of the more abstract s-parameter solutions.

Discussion and Conclusions
Traces on a lossy (semiconductor) substrate behave quite differently from traces on a dielectric substrate.At high frequencies, lossy substrates will make penetration of magnetic fields a low shallower. As a result, inductance becomes smaller.Lossy substrates will make capacitance higher.Lossy substrate will make characteristic impedance lower.Lossy substrates effects have a very rapid transition near DC.O-Wave & WB-Extract are powerful tools for studying lossy substrate.

Discussion and Conclusions
At low frequency, a plating tail will only add additional capacitance to the net, while inductance remains about the same.At very high frequency, a plating tail can act as a resonator and totally change the signal integrity behavior of the net.O-Wave + WB-Extract + S2TDR can be use to quantify effects of plating tails on signal integrity.

Summary
Ground bounce and simultaneous switch noise issues are critical in high speed/high frequency designs.DC IR-drop is important in PCI-Express, USB, and many high power board designs.A full wave 3D tool is necessary to capture power/ground plane resonance.System tools are coming soon to link IC, package and PCB ground/power analyses together.
