PCB Board Reverse Engineering Calibration

PCB Board Reverse Engineering Calibration impedance measurements significantly different than 50 Ohms can result in large errors between measured and actual. This systematic error is very common when completing Rambus 28 ohm measurements where measured values can easily be off by 2-3 Ohms over the actual impedance from by following Printed wiring Board Reverse Engineering complete design method. The primary factors of error are due to items such as instrument bias, probing and cable loss.

A simple means to account for these affects is to use a known reference standard close to the characteristic impedance of the line under test. Measurements against a reference standard are used to determine the systematic offset between measured and actual.

Measuring the standard with the probe and cable connected to the instrument provides the additive affective error of the system up to the probe tip to suit high speed printed wiring board Reverse Engineering. For most instances, the error due to probing will be small(0.2Ohms). If it is deemed that the probe is negligible, measurements can be completed by direct cable connection to the standard.

This is helpful when measuring airline standards where probing the connector can be difficult for periodic checking netlist table of electronic PCB Board Reverse Engineering.  The following options outlined in the next section use a known reference low impedance standard 2connected at the end of the cable to be used for measurement to calibrate against as illustrated in figure 4.
