Mastering the Terabit Challenge

Gigabit data rates are no longer state of the art. Today’s high-performance systems operate at multi-hundred-gigabit and terabit-class data rates, where signal and power integrity become mission-critical design factors. At these speeds, even minor parasitic effects can severely degrade signal quality—often to the point where the receiving device can no longer reliably detect transmitted data.

Typical limiting effects include:
