Single-ended Transmission Lines & Signal Behavior

In this track, you’ll dive into the behavior of single-ended transmission lines—where most engineers begin grappling with high-speed challenges. You’ll explore reflections, topology, impedance, terminations, and discontinuities, seeing firsthand how they shape signal integrity. With labs in ADS and HyperLynx, you’ll simulate and measure effects like ringing, crosstalk, and ground bounce. This track will strengthen your grasp of practical PCB design trade-offs, giving you strategies to tame real-world issues that affect performance and reliability.
