Custom Measurement Fixtures
Signal Edge Solutions specializes in the engineering of custom test fixtures designed to streamline your signal integrity, power integrity, or EMC measurement process and get you the accuracy you need. Every fixture we develop is built with a rigorous focus on both signal and power Integrity, ensuring that the interface itself provides a transparent path for high-fidelity measurements
High-Speed SI Characterization Fixtures
Signal Edge Solutions designs custom SerDes characterization boards specifically engineered to handle the extreme electrical demands of 224G applications, delivering performance at the highest speeds in the industry. Unlike standard, off-the-shelf test fixtures, our boards are fully customized to your exact specifications, providing the precision required for high-fidelity physical layer validation. These fixtures are optimized to characterize critical material parameters, including laminate dielectric constant (Dk), dielectric loss tangent (Df), Z-axis anisotropy, and skew, as well as copper conductivity and surface roughness effects that dominate losses at these frequencies.
Our design approach ensures that every element—from near-ASIC cabled Twinax interfaces and backplane trace geometries to complex connector breakout designs—is meticulously tuned to minimize parasitic artifacts. Whether you are performing SerDes PHY EVB loopback testing or analyzing inter-symbol interference (ISI) margins, our characterization boards provide the transparent, high-performance signal path necessary to isolate silicon performance from the test environment, ensuring your end-to-end physical layer meets the most stringent 224G compliance standards.
Why Partner with Signal Edge Solutions?
Choosing Signal Edge Solutions for your custom test fixtures means moving beyond the limitations of "off-the-shelf" solutions that can mask your design's true performance. We bring a specialized dual-expertise in both hardware design and advanced simulation, ensuring that every fixture is an extension of your measurement precision rather than a source of interference.
