Concept Drawing Chicago Version Hawaii Version 2

Concept Drawing “pluggable” board design Multiple testing configurations 3

Test #1 Verify glass micro-strip waveguide with compression bracket and MCP Get frequency response for MCP, glass TX-line, bracket, and Roger component Get channel cross-talk (radiative) frequency response 4

Test #2 Step through sine wave frequencies to determine ASIC frequency response Get frequency response for ASIC (stud bonded) by normalizing to Test #1 frequency response

Test #3 Use a ultra-low jitter laser light (signal photon level) to measure ASIC waveform timing Laser Light

Basic Electrical Outline for FPGA Interface Stud Bonding Common CLK Multiple PC interfaces 7

What am I missing to get started? Here’s a list of material I need to started: Stud bonding design rules DC board schematics Mechanical drawing of ASIC pad positions Mechanical drawing of compression bracket Here’s a list of equipment I need for testing: Sine wave generator High frequency O-scope Network Analyzer 8
