Verification via VNAs: Measuring PAM4 S-Parameters (.PDF Download)

April 18, 2017

As high-speed serial data rates advance beyond 50 Gb/s, conventional logic-emulating non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signaling is being replaced by PAM4, a four-level pulse amplitude-modulation scheme. PAM4 takes half the bandwidth to transmit the same payload as the equivalent NRZ signal...
