Version 2.0 (R2006b) lets you create a rational function model from measured network parameters. This type of model is useful to signal integrity engineers, whose goal is to reliably connect high-speed semiconductor devices with, for example, multi-Gbit/s serial data streams across backplanes and printed circuit boards. New features and changes introduced in this version are described in this section.
Use the s2tf function to convert 2-port scattering parameters into a transfer function that represents the normalized voltage gain of a 2-port network.
Use objects from the rfmodel class to represent components and networks with mathematical equations. The rfmodel.rational object stores a rational function model of a component or network.
Use the rationalfit function to fit a rational function to passive data that represents an RF component or network and then store the result in an rfmodel.rational object.
Use the freqresp method of the rfmodel class to compute the frequency response of an rfmodel object.
Use the impulse method of the rfmodel class to compute the impulse response of an rfmodel object.
Use the writeva method of the rfmodel class to export a description of an RF component or network for use in a time-domain circuit simulator.
"Modeling a High-Speed Backplane (Part 1: Measured 4-Port S-Parameters to a Rational Function Model)" shows how to use the toolbox to model a differential high-speed backplane using rational functions.
"Modeling a High-Speed Backplane (Part 2: Rational Function Model to a Verilog-A Module)" shows how to use toolbox functions to generate a Verilog-A module that models the high-level behavior of a high-speed backplane.
"Modeling a Differential High-Speed Backplane in Simulink" shows how to use Simulink to simulate a differential high-speed backplane.
