Chicago Version
Hawaii Version 2

3. Concept Drawing “pluggable” board design
Multiple testing configurations 3

4. 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

5. 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

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

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

8. 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
