1.1.2 EBW Test Coupon and Conductor Caveats This
method is designed to be used on any conductor. However
comparison between measurements is only valid for like inter-
connect structures.
The launch vias should be designed with minimum return loss.
It is recommended that the test coupon or conductor be of a
length greater than 5.0 cm [2.0 in].
EBW applicable documents include IPC-2141, IPC-TM-650,
Method 1.9 and Method 2.5.5.7.
1.2 RIE (Method B Description) In this method a TDR
step with a specified rise time is injected into each of two
lengths of an unterminated conductor. The gated derivative of
the reflected edges is an impulse response for each respec-
tive line. The RIE value is the ratio of energy obtained by inte-
grating the impulse responses. One of the two lengths is
intended to be a relatively short piece; the other is substan-
tially longer and in close proximity to a considerably long con-
ductor on the same printed board layer. The RIE ratio is a
single value that is directly proportional to the aggregate trans-
mission line loss α, which is described in IPC-2141.
1.2.1 RIE Measurement System Limitations RIE values
can vary depending on equipment used and how the tests
were performed. Following the specified method ensures con-
sistent results. Both single-ended and differential line mea-
surements have limitations in common which include the fol-
lowing:
a) RIE values are dependent on equipment bandwidth; this
document specifies only a minimum requirement for the
TDR signal source.
b) When attempting correlation between different systems, it
is critical that all systems have the same bandwidth.
c) The probe cabling, launch, test coupon vias affect mea-
surement accuracy.
d) All RIE loss values are derived and not directly measured.
e) The RIE process utilizes a filter algorithm to improve mea-
surement consistency.
1.2.2 RIE Test Coupon and Conductor Caveats Various
limitations can be attributed to test samples and probing such
as:
a) The probe and launch structure reduces the signal energy
injected into the transmission line.
b) Crosstalk and associated effects, other than differential
coupling, are out of the scope of the RIE method.
c) The RIE method applies to reference structures and test
structures with specified transmission line lengths.
RIE applicable documents include IPC-2141, IPC-TM-650,
Methods 1.9 and 2.5.5.7.
1.3 SPP (Method C Description) The SPP method allows
the extraction of broadband printed board electrical charac-
teristics that affect signal propagation using Time Domain
Reflectometry/Time Domain Transmission (TDR/TDT) equip-
ment. The SPP method produces frequency dependent mea-
surement results. Such frequency-dependent parameters
include the propagation constant (attenuation and phase con-
stant), dielectric constant, loss tangent, and characteristic
impedance. Conductor resistivity and line capacitance are
also assessed. The extracted parameters may be used to
generate predictive causal transmission line models for sys-
tem performance evaluations as well for monitoring produc-
tion line output.
The SPP technique employs a time-domain measurement that
is used to extract the broadband permittivity. The technique is
used on representative stripline structures built with small
interface discontinuities such as lands and vias.
A short pulse is injected into two lines of different lengths.
Signal processing of the digitized pulses consists of rectangu-
lar time windowing of the unwanted reflections from interface
discontinuities. This is followed by Fourier transformation.
From the ratio of the two Fourier transforms, the total attenu-
ation α(f) and phase constant β(f) are obtained. R(f), L(f), C(f),
and G(f), namely resistance, inductance, capacitance, and
conductance per unit length, are calculated using a causally-
enforced two-dimensional (2D) field solver that has a built-in
Debye function for the relation between C(f), and G(f), which
enforces the Kramer-Kronig causality requirement. The total
attenuation α(f) and β(f) are fitted to the measured values and
smooth interpolation and extrapolation is made over the
desired frequency range. The broadband Z
0
(f) can also be
obtained from Equation [1-1]:

The transmission line parameters R(f), L(f), C(f), and G(f) are a
consequence of determining α(f) and β(f) from the fitted trans-
mission line solution to the measurements. The final step is
the extraction of the relative dielectric constant ε
r
and loss
tangent, tanδ.
Measurements made of the capacitance and loss tangent of
an additional large parallel plate structure embedded in the
same layer with the signal conductor allows the extraction of
ε
r
and tanδ at very low frequencies. The final R(f), L(f), C(f), and
G(f) are used to extract the complex permittivity using Equa-
tions [1-2] and [1-3].

The IPC SPP method is intended for printed boards, however
it can be extended to measure coaxial single-ended and dif-
ferential cables, flex cables, multi-chip module ceramic wiring,
single and multi-chip organic module wiring, thin-film wiring,
and on-chip wiring. The extraction results produce results in
frequency range between 10 KHz to 40 GHz, depending on
the quality of the TDR equipments and test coupon structure.
1.4 SET2DIL (Method D Description) In this method a
TDR step is injected into one half of a 101.6 mm [4.0 in] dif-
ferential pair, which has the two legs of the differential pair
shorted together at the far end. The waveforms of both halves
of the differential pair are captured and manipulated to derive
SDD21 (and Z
0
, if desired) of the equivalent differential pair.
1.4.1 SET2DIL Measurement System Caveats SET2DIL
produces the SDD21 value for the differential pair being mea-
sured; it is not intended to rigorously differentiate between
loss elements (conductor vs. dielectric, for instance). The
same structure can also be used to measure the differential
impedance, though that calculation isn’t covered in this speci-
fication. Some other limitations of SET2DIL include:
a) SET2DIL SDD21 measurements will include losses due to
the vias, for stripline traces. To minimize errors induced by
vias, the following limitations are made to the SET2DIL
coupon design:
i. The coupon has an effective length of 203.2 [8.0 in],
which will cause the trace losses to overwhelm small via
losses.
ii. Stripline traces on the bottom portion of the board
(lower layers) are measured from the top to minimize
via stub effects. Upper stripline layers are measured
from the bottom of the board.
b) SET2DIL SDD21 measurements will include an error term
from SDD11 effects if the differential trace being measured
isn’t 100 Ω (2x the reference impedance of 50 Ω).
i. The coupon has an effective length of 203.2 mm [8.0 in],
causing the trace insertion losses (SDD21) to overwhelm
the relatively small return loss.
ii. The primary purpose of SET2DIL is to ensure the trace
properties match that of those in simulations. Thus,
SDD21 from simulations with a 50 Ω reference can be
used as the measurement criteria for SET2DIL, making
the reference error difference moot.
1.5 FD (Method E Description) Three of the previously
described methods use TDR to determine the loss character-
istics of a printed board. This approach utilizes a Vector Net-
work Analyzer (VNA) or the fast fourier transform (FFT) of a
TDT for this purpose. The result is a direct measure of fre-
quency domain attenuation and loss. VNA equipment includes
calibration to the launch pad which must be used. The inser-
tion loss is directly related to transmission line design param-
eters utilized in signaling design analysis. The metric for the FD
method is the slope of the RMS insertion loss fit for a speci-
fied frequency range.

3 Test Coupons (Specimens)
3.1 Common Characteristics
The coupons for all the
methods contain transmission lines. The SPP coupon also
includes a small disc structure. The following are general
guidelines for designing transmission line test structures for
test methods within this document. These transmission line
test structures or interconnects may be placed within the
functional area of the printed board or within test coupons. A
coupon is a section of the printed board that is designated for
test structures and is removed from the panel after printed
board fabrication is completed. Differences between the char-
acteristics of test and functional interconnects may exist. The
relative merit of test structure placement relation to functional
circuit is beyond the scope of this document.
3.1.1 General Nomenclature – Coupons It is recom-
mended that coupons have labels that contain information
about the associated test line signal layer; for example, L1,
S3, etc. Labeling of the contact land for differential conductors
shall clearly indicate the matched pair.
It is recommended that test coupons include a printed board
serial number, part number, and date code.
3.1.2 Ground and Reference Planes All reference planes
in the coupon shall be connected together within the coupon
area and be independent of those planes in the functional cir-
cuit area. Ground and reference plane dispensation within the
functional area is beyond the scope of this document.
3.1.3 Differential Coupons The differential line is also
known as a balanced transmission line. The probing area
should contain four contact lands: one contact land for each
of the two signal conductors in the differential pair and two
contact lands connected to the reference plane(s).
3.1.4 Probe Launch The probe launch is comprised of a
PTH or other via structure and ground contact rectangular
pad and an example is depicted in Figure 3-1. The hole diam-
eter is recommended to be the smallest hole that is appropri-
ate for the respective technology. Some printed boards may
employ blind and buried vias. The recommended pitch
between ground and signal pad for high volume testing is
1.016 mm [0.040 in] or 2.54 mm [0.100 in]. Higher accuracy
can be achieved with smaller ground pad to signal pad spac-
ing and use of multiple ground vias.
3.1.5 Connector Launch A high bandwidth connector
launch may be used instead of probe launch as show in Fig-
ure 3-2.
Figure 3-3 provides an example of high bandwidth connector
launch.
3.1.6 General Surface Condition The panel test coupons
shall have the same surface plating and use the same solder
mask requirements as the functional printed board.
